Unexpected arrival

So my very first baby veiled arrived today! He was a birthday gift from a friend who ordered from lilreptiles.com. I was all set up and ready to go, but when I opened the package there was a second female Cham in the box! Apparently they were having a sale on pairs and my friend was convinced by the sellers to surprise order me a pair.

I've read it isn't a good idea to house multiple Chams in a single enclosure. I was all set up for one new baby, and I'm not sure what to do with my little girl. I also read you can house multiple babies together but need to separate them as they grow. Can someone please elaborate on the right way to handle this situation? Thanks!
 
House them together for now should be fine but you will need a second cage before they are 5 months old (min 2x2x4 for a male 18x18x36 min for female) veileds tend to get very territorial and aggressive the closer they get to sexual maturity
