He's very cute, I just want to reiterate that I'm not hovering around him or handling him like I do my dragons. I just wanted a photo of him to show.

I don't mean to create an argument over it, especially on a chameleon board, but the snuggling in the photo is dominant behavior and not meant to be sweet.
I'll always recommend housing dragons alone, always, but I understand it's your choice and your dragons. I do hope they get along as well as they can, and I again don't mean this to be preachy or judgemental, just more of a warning

Without a doubt there is no reptile like them in my opinion...I really feel they love and appreciate me in alot of ways

I completely agree . As you know we have kept them since I was 13 that's a lot of years . Their just fantastic creatures .

Oh it's cool I Kno wat ppl say but they are sisters a little over 3 years now and they have always been together peaches was the runt and cupcake aka (big mama) was the biggest one and she has slept on top of cupcake since day one I truly believe she started this because it made her feel safe they have never ever fault. However we did try splitting them up one time just so they would have more room and neither one of them would eat so back into the same cage they went

I was just going to add that you had tried to separate them and their was issues . Also if they did start fighting you are very awhere of all your pets .

Ok. I was hoping you wouldn't take it too badly lol.
They likely weren't eating because the change stressed them out.

I just wanted to be sure to say something in case. There's an infamous post on the ER forum on the beardie page of two females that lived together for years, and one snapped suddenly and bit off the feet and tail of the other one. It's very tragic and unrelated but my male beardie can't even share the house with my little one, let alone an enclosure

No worry's man Lol I've had lots of ppl look at me crazy for keeping them together but it's wat they prefer so I can only pray I never have no reason to sweat it

Exactly... I believe bad things happen whenever they get left in a cage for too long and become agitated or get to hungry and grumpy

Glad to hear they do OK together, though.

This is what I get to deal with


They'll never be allowed to interact face to face

The big angry one that was in the window is my male lol. He can't stand the little one being in the house. She's a little girl. This is surely to be fun when they're both full grown and hormonal
