3 MONTHS

[ChuckA]

I cant believe it , i seperated them less than 2 months ago, as per this forum, today i decided let me see what happens when i put them together again, yes they are from the same parents, the bigger one (tyson) went after the smaller one (holyfield) i n less than 4 seconds, very sad indeed, because the smaller one wanted to just relax, but the larger one was allready after him and nipping at his tail, i guess they need to be on their own as usual, its just weird because the smaller one is always looking for the bigger one

If you had kept them together, something very bad probably would have happened.

I have 2 of them in the same cage there 2 months old. Is that bad? I was told it was a boy and girl after I bought them. The girl is a bit smaller but always on top of the boy they both tongue flick each other but only been in the same cage for 3 days that I know of. Someone told me they might be siblings. Not sure if its true.

Yes, take them out and separate them. The one on top is being dominate. Even if they are siblings, they dont care. One is being dominate and the other submissive.

I agree, that is what mine were also doing, the smaller one would always be on top, now i wonder what would have happened if i did leave them alone

What would have happened is tail nip toes lost not eatting the smaller one wouldnt be basking, stress, mating before female ready, over mating, egg binding, DEATH, would you like me to go on?

i just dont understand it seems as though they are always trying to get at each other, i thought in the beginning all would be OK, man was i wrong

well i did it again as i was cleaning their tank, they looked like they were getting along very well for a while, but the biggest one Tyson, went after the smaller one Holyfield , its just weird they were from the same batch, both males, and even though they hardly see each other , it seems as though they hate each other, and just so you know they are only 4 1/2 months old but dayum they have grown 8)
