Firstly...can 2 males be housed together? I saw an image where they show dominant and non-dominant male, which suggests they can, and one will be green with bright blue underbelly and the other a drab grey with less blue underbelly.

However, I thought the drab color and less blue was a female, but was told females have no blue coloring on the underbelly? Which is correct? I am trying to figure out if I actualy saw a dominant/submissive pair of males at the pet store or if they were a male/female pair. Having trouble finding a decent female ventral image on google.

I found this care sheet on Emerald Swifts, maybe not the best but this covers the basics:
http://www.herpcenter.com/emerald-swift-caresheet.html

With any reptiles, you do not want to house two males together due to the aggressive behavior of males, they will get territorial and fight. It's never good to have one dominant and the other non-dominant, it will lead to the non-dominant one getting less light, less food, less everything compared to the dominant one. One reptile per tank is ideal. However I only know as much as the caresheets tell me. If anyone one here as some experience with the Emerald Swifts can correct me if I'm wrong please do.

BTW didn't know about these little guys till now, they're gorgeous.

I never saw any blue on my females. I had a trio of these before, and as the other poster mentioned, you should ideally have a male + female or a few females. They are fun, they don't really like to be held, but they are not extremely shy, and mine mated + actually had babies. They are live bearers, so that was a surprise to see the cute babies appear in the tank, mine had 5 - 6 on different occasions. Their courtship display is typical, but the male was so cute, he bobbed his head rapidly and once even actually took the female's tail in his mouth as he was following her and bobbing, it was too funny .

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
