Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Longlegged Sac Spider (Cheiracanthium mildei).

ItsyBitsy

Generally speaking that is two different common names for the same species. Though the names may also be used to describe other species in the family/genus at times. What happens would probably depend on the maturity and gender of the spiders. They might mate or if the enclosure wasn’t big enough for the both of them, one might eat the other.

I would just go with separate enclosures if you don’t want to risk them eating one another. If they’re immature you can’t determine gender. A mature female will have a visible epigynum on the ventral side and slender pedipalps, a penultimate or mature male will respectively have swollen or sclerotized pedipalps.
