...and it was relatively uneventful. I placed the new sav in Liam's enclosure and Liam sauntered over and gave her a smell. The new sav flipped out and tried to run away so Liam sort of tackled her into a hug and smelled her super hard; the new sav submitted and allowed Liam to smell her, then Liam let the new sav go and then came over to me to solicit food.
When Liam let go, the new sav proceeded to partially evert, and then to rub its copulatory organs all over the enclosure, for like ten minutes.
Afterwards, the new sav spent the next 6 hours trying to escape the enclosure before finally trying to climb into the hide in which Liam was sleeping. There wasn't enough room, as that hide is super tight and barely large enough for Liam, so the new sav settled on a burrow.
Upon moving, the new sav is considerably more tolerant of handling, and is more outgoing than before. The new sav also seems like it's trying to get Liam to play... or something.
My basking spot and hide scheme is working out perfectly. There are multiple basking spots of the same temperature so each sav has multiple choices. There hasn't been any disputing over basking spots.
Feeding them last night was interesting. The new sav kept trying to steal food from Liam, but they didn't fight at all.
So anyway... photos!
How I found them when I came home from work last night. Liam is on the ground, in her preferred spot.
