I see you keep your tegus together, i have two, a male B&W and a female red they are two different sizes but eventually when they reach the same size i want them together. What is a good way to introduce them together?? I always admired you and your tegus, I even got them from ron st pierre too. If it's not too much trouble can you please help me with this question

THANKS

I have a blue male and a regular argentine female housed together, and I had a different male blue in the past. Both times I introduced the males into the housing situation that was already established for the female. there were never any problems. They pretty much just ignore eachother. I bet you will have no problems either, as long as everybody has plenty of food.

What I did is ,Once she was big enough I bleached the cage that they were going to live in . Then I Put them in At the same time .Then I watched them for 2 hrs. Also I kept a broom handy. Had to use it a couple of times , becaus my female was bitting Santiago. He never even tyed to fight back. Hope this helps Russ

What I did when I got mine is after the quarentine period I took them to a nuetral spot in the house and let them check each other out. Which amounted to them pretty much ignoring one another. Then I put them in the tank together. I would watch for a while and they each picked out thier own favorite basking spot and have all lived together happily ever since. I have never had a problem with them. In fact my female Arg. b&w runs to the red male for security since she is still a little shy around my wife. Just a few thoughts but what ever you do watch them close to see how they handle it. Good luck
