I would separate them. Do you know the sexes? If they're both males that's likely the problem; males kept together will often fight.
Males will have much longer front claws and a longer, thicker tail. If you can post some pics of them we should be able to sex them for you. We just had a big thread about this actually, but it was re: eastern painted turtles rather than YBS.
