Housing multiple ATBs

Can 2 adult ATBs that have never seen each other before be temporarily kept together (say a couple months or so till I can build another enclosure) without fear? They would of course be fed seperately. And the enclosure would have to be big enough for both.

U should be ok as long as u dont feed them together and watch for any type of combat behavior if they are both males.......I wouldnt do this for long though .........They seem to do alot better when kept by themselves.....

It would be a male and female together, and hopefully they would be a proven pair but we will have to wait to find out.
Thanks again

If they're male and female, this time of year they're likely to breed. Not wanting them to is the only big foreseeable problem.

The absolute soonest that they would be housed together would be the end of February and even that might be stretching it. But hey ultimate goal will be to breed them so it would all be good.
