Hello and Welcome:) Read through the Greek section under the different species section. If they are hatchlings, then they can not be 100% sexed yet. You will need a large enclosure for the two of them. Then you need to watch closely for bullying and if it happens, you will need to make two enclosures. They need a basking light, a Mercury Vapor bulb works very good for this. It throws off light, heat and UVB. They will also need a CHE, ceramic heat emitter for night time heat. A large plant saucer for water, a couple hides, dirt or coconut coir for substrate, just to mention a few things. You should read up on them before purchasing. Btw a group of one male and two females do better then a pair.
