We got two girls, both about a year old, about 2 weeks ago.
They were cohabiting but we separated them, and today the much smaller one, Aurora, started head bobbing, black bearding and really puffing up when she spotted her big brother (5yo Spike,who was in his vivarium)
I know this is standard male territorial behaviour, however the store we got them from assured us that they were both female.
It all adds up really; they were both very well behaved when cohabiting (They loved to cuddle up), Aurora is much smaller than her sister and is the one showing these behaviours.
However, when we checked we couldn't see any male sex organs.
If anyone has any idea what's going on we would really appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Izzy, Saphira and Aurora xxx
