I really think two water bowls and two caps of calcium might be overkill. I don't see any problem with it, but I doubt there's any need to do it. And the hides......... it's good to give them a variety, but most likely, they'll both pile up in one humid hide on the warm side that they like the most and spend the majority of their time there. It's good that you're concerned, but just give them enough space and they'll be fine. I don't think you need more than 3 or 4 hides at the max.
Food: the easiest way to be sure that they both get plenty of food is to keep a dish of mealworms in the tank at all times. It's good to also offer other food items, but as long as you have the mealworms there, you can be sure that they both have food available.
