An 08 male and an 09 female living together. I put them together at the onset of brumation when they had gone off feed for the year anyway, so less likely to want to eat each other. In the spring when I warmed them up I offered food frequently in separate feeding containers and made sure they both ate. As it was I had to start the male on a lizard to boost him into eating mode. He was a sporadic feeder in his first years, hence not as big as the 09 female, who I think will be a behemoth. This year he is eating on a regular basis and is doing very well growth wise. Anyway, the introduction was made in late fall when they didn't want to eat. Originally I had another 09 female with them but she was not as big and so I removed her, as she seemed ill at ease with her bigger cage mates, and likely with good reason.
