Beardies will do this on occasions. But if he does it lots then maybe he's unhappy about something. Are they male and female? I couldn't see any hides do they have any? Hides are important for security.

You've done the right thing splitting them up. This is why I don't like people buying 2 animals unless they are reliably sexed. In the end you have more expense and the animals get stressed. He may be doing it more now they are split up as he's trying to get to the other one. Hopefully he should calm down when you have them in their new and separate homes.

Another thing aswell, in your video it looks like you have a big dish with water in? I'd take half of that water out so it's shallow and they don't drown. Also stick it in the cool end, that way there will be less humidity raised and there will be no risk of infection. Sorry if it is already in the cool end .. just looked like the light bulb was above it

That is a tricky situation you have there but I guess it's the best you can do. As you've only one basking light I presume that one has heat and one doesn't? I would also recommend lowering your U.V. light.
