So it would be not unreasonable to have an Earth-sized planet with two moons, one at 140K and one at 380K? Or one at 50K and one at 380K?

How about orbital periods for these worlds? Using this calculator

I get a period of about 1.3 days for the 50Kmoon, and about 6 days for the 140K moon. But that calculator assumes the moons are massless, I think.
