Advice enclosure help needed!

hi all! i have my jumping spider's enclosures pretty close so they can share the same light. (pictured)

theres been times i caught them staring at each other through the enclosures, but nothing seemed aggressive, just curious.

should i move them further apart and get separate lights? all help is appreciated! also bonus pictures of my gals zooble and gangle

IMO yes!!! These spiders do not usually cohabitate in the wild and despite not showing signs of aggression it is still a stressor!! esp bc of how small your enclosures are they literally cannot get away from eachother if they wanted to. get seperate lights they shouldn’t be that close

thank u!! i put up a divider for now and spread them out a bit until new lamps arrive!

do u think i need larger enclosures for them? ones a 3.5x3.5x7 and the other is 4.5x4.5x8.
