>>in the same enclosure...would that be a bad idea? I would like to get another and was wondering if they are solitary or wouldn't mind sharing an enclosure, or if this is possible at all. Hm.

>>Hm.

My limited experience.....
I have had a couple customers try this and maybe they were not as careful but they have had monitors tear each other up, lost tail parts....not good.

I have three savs, all males, together. They are nearly all the same size and I feed to the most timid or he would suffer. The dominant foodaholic hogs food if I am not mindful of him. Having a LARGE basking spot is more work. I would NOT recommend just tossing in a baby with another bigger one. All mine are beyond mouth sized when introduced. I think that is why I don't have any issues with the animals fighting. Ideally, I would like to start a true group and raise several all together.
