Ok I have two small BPs that are currently housed together and one is in shed mode should I separate them? This is my first experience with them shedding in a cohab tank

Ive never had bps in one cage, since i only have on bp, but i don't think it would make a difference in my opinion. id get the opinion of someone else though, but to me it seems like there wouldn't be a problem with leaving them in the cage.

You should seperate them permanently, they are VERY easily stressed and if one gets sick, the other one will catch it. There is no reason to house them together, they get no benefit or enjoyment from "company" (any snuggling you think you see is actually a dominance display and one or both snakes is miserable).
