yes
It also helps if they live alone. Living together can cause stress and make either or both hide.
But sometimes and more often than not its just natural. All terristrial snakes like to burrow and mine do as well.
Make sure you have enough hiding spots for both. Each really should have two, one on cool side and on on warm side but you can get away with two large ones or three.
But if burrowing is all they are doing then you have nothing to worry about , its natural.

well
I think that they are perfectly fine, and yes burrowing is natural.
But how can you know they "get along fine" ? Just because they don't hurt each other doesn't mean they aren't stressed. And just because they stay near each other doesn't mean they like each other. I am just saying that a lot of times, actually most times, its better if snakes live alone.

I keep all mine separate. It's only $2.50 for a 12qt rubbermaid snap-topper and that's what all mine are in right now 
I kept my first pair together in a 20g for about a week after I got 'em, cuz it's all I had spare at the time.
After I separated them, they both started appearing out more and I actually got to see them without lifting their hides up

The views on keeping two snakes together on this forum seem to be mixed. People have told me NO you shouldn't do that and I've also read a few threads where people have put two corns together with no problems. I think it all depends on what you feel comfortable with. I wouldn't have put them together if I thought that they wouldn't get along or be stressed. Both snakes have laid back personalities and are not shy at all. They DID come out last night. My amel, Janine was zigzaging all over the cage while the snow, Jenna was climing on the ceiling in an almost impossible manner. I will have to take pics of that!! And it was the first time I've seen them come out and play!! Maybe they had to get used to the bigger cage. They have so much more room now.

yeah
I am well aware that some people still say its not a problem to keep them together. Unfortunatly, with the latest pictures of cannabilisim in corns on the other forums I won't be taking that chance. To much cannabilisim for me to keep hatchlings together, ever again. Can't risk it. Maybe someone will post the photos again. I think I have this one, I think its by Clint Boyer, who has some beautiful snakes.
In any case, good luck.

Why can't I have more?
I hope you do decide to separate them but if not...
Try getting lots of little hides, corns like small spaces and like to be able touch all sides of a hide.
Also if you want them to get out and excecise you'll probably have to set up two sets of climbing apparatus just so there's an option if one is out, the other one doesnt' need to go and bother it.
The other thing that can help is putting a fair bit of foliage (plastic or real). There are some really cool long vines (plastic) that I put in my baby's cage and she climbs on it more than the nice big branch I have for her. I think that's cuz she feels safer in it because she's not completely exposed. She's still kinda hiding but she's getting some excercise!

If you
Are not breeding them, you leave their temperature the same as always, 82-85 hot side, room temp cool side.
If you are breeding and brumating them you will need to clean out their guts by not feeding but mainting warm temps for about three weeks, then you brumate them anywhere from 45-65 but you should do more extensive research before trying this and its not needed to keep corns healthy.
