Were you sure to put their names on the bowls so they know which one to use?

I doubt that two bowls will work out as intended. I assume that they're over 10 grams? Separate them imo. As a temporary enclosure I'd look at using a sterilite or rubbermaid or whatever plastic tub. i wouldn't use this for anything other than a stopgap.

Be sure to watch for tail or toe nips, and feed crickets or other bugs in a separate tank. Keeping an eye on weights is extremely important, to make sure one isn't bullying the other. Not only can one dominate the food, the stress of bullying can keep the other from eating.

Multiple feed bins are suggested if you are housing multiple geckos to help cut down on potential squabbles.

Look for:
1.) One or both geckos loosing weight
2.) Bite wounds
3.) Chewed up tail
4.) Dropped tail
5.) You catch the geckos chasing each other around the tank/ constant squabbling or attacking.
6.) One or both geckos appearing just..unhealthy, lethargic (beyond say wintery conditions).

If they're both flourishing then the main thing you need to worry about is trying to sex them and get them separated until you are for sure on their sex. A male will try to breed as soon as he's physically capable.
