I'm looking into possibly getting a pair of ATBs in the not-so-distant future, but I had a quick question.
I would, ultimately, be housing them seperate. But for a few months after quaratine I will probably have to keep them together. If I needed to, would any problems arrise? Assuming the cage is of adequate size, there is enough heat, water, feeding is seperate etc.

Thanks!

Hey Zoe,

I've put mine together for the winter in the living room in a natural setup to see if they will breed. So far so good. I do seprate for feeding because the female is a more agressive feeder. They have lots of places to hang out and only lately do I see once in a while sharing the same perch, could be court ship I don't know. Regardless I do plane on seperating them in the spring. On a side note Ross and Marzec say that this species will breed in captivity with out being seperated until breeding season and with temperature cycling so one has to be careful if one is housing them together and does not want neonates cause you might get them anyway. Also I take out the male not the female during feeding because if there is some thing going on between them I don't want to touch her.
Good luck,
Trevor
