Is it ok to have more then one male GTM with a female or will they fight?

Ah! Green trees do best in groups, a social structure!

However they need consistent support, otherwise subaltern start perishing pronto!
In these species its always the pack leader who initialise hunting, others follow in a frenzy, in this situation group behaviour lessens stress, it allows animals of lesser rank to feed unnoticed and then bask as a commune, only well fed monitors share resources, when kept in pairs the dominated animal is often hesitant to compete for food, proper feeding is everything in varanids husbandry.

In the 80s my group of 3.3 prasinus would copulate after hosing and feeding, they would do so with such vigour that I could change water and they would not care about my intrusion. All this behaviour stopped the day I separated them into pairs or TRIOS? They then became wary and shy.

7 years on these forums, and still nobody came close to using this approach, best of luck to you.

Thank You

I'm using a vision #433 arboreal do you think thats a ok size?

I like 6x3x4h, its easy to control and service.
