adult male leo in one cage always fight?

Is There no exception to this rule.?

My 1adult male & 2juvenile leos(maybe male) are living together without any problem (for about 2~3 month)

But, now I'm very afraid lest they fight!

Tell me about your experience or advice.

Sorry.. I am very poor at english.

Thank you very much~ plz help me T.T

Remove all males but one from the cage. They are too territorial to be housed together and will likely nip off tails and stuff before the dust settles.

With the juveniles.. do the same... if one is a male and one female, you can keep them together, but definitely do not put two males in the same cage.

I disagree strongly with this statement. Juvenile males will mate with the juvenile females, impregnating them, and causing undue stress on their maturing bodies. No, no juveniles should be kept together, in my opinion, ever, unless they are females.

Why would you have juvies in with an adult male???? You will have problems either way, because if they are females, they could become gravid at an inappropriate weight/age, and if they are males, there is always a possiblity they will fight when the younger male(s) become territorial! Try to get the juvies their own cages(unless you find out they are females, then the two juvies can be housed together)! Hope I helped!!!
