I have two juvenile monitors housed together, one melinus one peach throat. My plan is to keep them together as long as they seem to be getting a long. Of course it would be awesome if they paired up but I am also assuming that having two together that could potentially be both male or female will accept a possible mate later on when there sex is more easily determined. If they happen to turn out to be both of the same sex then I could possibly put another adult whos sex is more easily determined. Im guessing it might make it an easier transition then housing an animal by it self then introducing a third. I would just purcahse more animals now but Im new at this and yes I wish i had started out with ackies which I still plan on getting but for now, I want to get these guys to adult hood and see what happens. There both such beautifull animals and growing freakishly fast. My peach throats gone from ten inches to maybe close to pushing two feed in two months. Does that even sound possible? This is just an eyeball and memory estimation as far as two months. Ill have to really try and figure that out. Also Ill be making a time lapse video of these guys here in the next week, to study there interactions more carefully. They sleep in different areas and some times look a little freaked out when one first sees the other in the start of a new day but bask togeather and hide in the same spot when awake but like I said once there back to there sleeping areas its in different locations. Its funny i think i could set a clock to the peach throats routine. Ill go in my office around the same time and almost always catch the peachthroat deficating in its water bowl at the exact time. Just wish there scedule matched mine I have to stay up late and wake up early to see some of the activities.
