House them seperately. With juvenile snakes, sometimes an enclosure that is too large will lead to their feeling insecure and thus stressed out. Consequently, they won't do well.
House them seperately in completely secure enclosures.

I have had them in the same enclosure for over a week now and they are both feeding extremely well. They each have their own hiding spot but most of the time they lay next to each other inside of a log.
Well, if all is going well, then don't sweat it....If it were me, I'd house them seperately both for the reason I outlined in my last post AND because monocles can be voracious feeders and an accident can easily occur if they are housed together while feeding....
