Thanks. They didn't always live together. They moved in together in April. The one on the ramp is actually on her own right now because she lays a clutch of eggs every 14-15 days. 3 so far and I know she will have another next week. I need to keep her separate right now to get as much food as possible in her between clutches.

Many people think it's easier to house dragons together but it's really not. You always have to have extra enclosures available for a variety of reasons. You can't put a nest box in a cage with a male there. lol. Also feeding is kind of a communal thing so there is no way to monitor each dragons intake. Unless you happen to be watching there is no way to tell who has diahria or is not pooping either.

3 seems to work better than 2 also. When the male is there alone because both females are in lay boxes, etc. and then I add a known female he is brutal to her for the 1st day or so. If one is always there then when I add another known female he just takes it in stride. lol.

I just love the way the females bow to the males. It's just too funny how they know who's boss. lol.
