From what I've read this could be a bad idea. Checkout the fact/care sheet on this site http://www.bluetongueskinks.net/blue.htm
in the section on adult care he discusses co-habitation. In breeding section is a photo of damage a female inflicted on a male - enough to make you wince!
I'm no expert though so there may be longtime owners who had different experiences

Although on the majority of cases it is fine to house two together... Of course you can get the odd issue...
... A dominent Bluey can intimidate another one to not feed as well. (Currently trying to get a sub-ordinate Bluey to feed up back to normal health. Given to me by someone else)
... Of course on the odd occasion they will continuously scuffle/bite each other....(losing toes, scaring etc)
Not saying this will happen..But just a possibiltiy... Best thing is to watch them over the next week or two... And monitor their interaction, weight and appearance....

I am in the process of introducing 2 bluey together. they have supervised visits at the moment and so far they have had no problems. I take them into the yard so they are on neutral ground. I have been told that feeding and mating time it when you will get the best hint to if they will fight or not. Most people have advised me to have plenty of hides in there enclosure.

I've found with my 4 young ones together, the biggest problem is accidental nose/foot biting at feed time, rather than aggression. I don't think they are too bright so you just need to be careful
