Hi Vic,

The risk is usually less then the constant re-introduction of animals kept apart.

But like anything, you must have a basic understanding of the process. And the main thing there is not start with old solitary individuals. Then so use animals that are in a chronic state of starvation.

I would also recomend feeding often, you don't have to feed large amounts, just often.

Also, Keep open to the fact that doing what you did before will result in what you saw before.

Giving the animals choices in temps and humidity and choice to feed with they want is key.

It is a system, much like any husbandry system. You really should not mix and match. That is part this and part that.

Indigos, do consume lots of food, so they will keep you busy. I think the biggest problem with indigos and superior success is based on the quanity of food. Those things eat a whole lot. Kinda lizard like.

Keep asking questions before you go overboard. Cheers
