If you get them at the same time from the same place you usually dont have to, but since you didnt you should quarentine for atleast 1 month tho i prefer to do it for 2 months.

but what it turns out that the new does like the other one i wouldn't be able to take would, because i buy them from petco out here maryland and the store is new.

The main reason to quarentine is incase the one of the leos is sick the other one doesnt get sick.

You do need to keep them seperated, no matter if you got them from the same place or not. If you didn't buy them together, then there is a chance that the new one could be carrying something. I have 23 leos and they have all been kept seperated to make sure the other ones don't get sick. I don't keep any of my hatchlings together either. You should play it safe, because a vet bill is going to be more than whatever you pay at petco if one of them gets sick. Hope this helps you.
