Ok, i was wondering if anyone has advice on introducing a second female to a relatively new pair of Sikorae..
The 1.1 i currently have are doing well, eating, boinking, running around...
She's laid 2 or 3 eggs that so far have just sorta shrivelled up.. (i'm not too concerned about that right now - just making sure they're healthy geckos before i start pestering them to procreate)
I just picked up a new female and am wondering how to best introduce, if they're likely to fight, etc. Both the animals i already have are quite docile, they're handleable and although they try to get away, neither has ever bitten me. I'm not sure what the new female's like as i've not handled her much. She didn't bite anyone at the pet store and seems fine. (I sure hope she's not bitey, as her and my current female look almost exactly the same!)
Any ideas?
