I put the 2 savs together, Sassy is around a year old and Baby is around 6 months old. I am guessing on ages by their size when gotten and time I've had them.
I put Baby in the cage and it just wandered around. Then we put Sassy in and it started to follow Babys sent. As soon as they met up Baby who is probally 6 inches shorter tried to mount Sassy. Sassy then just ran like hell untils baby fell off. Then Baby started to belly drag all through the cage. Because of how low Baby is dragging I can't identify what it is venting.
There has been no biting, scratching or tail whipping.
Could this just be a dominace display or could I be lucky and Baby has fallen in love?

Hello
Easy, dude...relax...
They are both just kids, you'll have plenty of time to figure out their sexes later. I mean, who cares what sex they are, when the cool thing is that they each now have some entertainment and company? As long as they are not injuring each other or starving, let them work it out.

Enjoy the show.
Cheers

Well, things seemed to calm down alot. We stayed up late just keeping an eye on things. Sassy is still belly dragging all over the cage, the substrate, the basking area, the longs, and rocks.
Still haven't gotten a good look at the vent.
Fed them some crickets this morning and everything went fine.
Baby ran around like mad eating every cricket it could catch while Sassy just slowly wandered around and ate them as it found them.
Baby likes the room he/she has now and Sassy just wants to be left alone to bask and sleep.
Right now I'm just enjoying watching them show the different personalities.
Baby is hyper and is busy checking everything out.
Sassy is still laid back and mellow about everything with the exception of being mounted. Sassy is smart though, already found a place to run under a log where Baby gets knocked off.
If I knew it would have been this entertaining, I would have done it sooner. But then again, I needed to wait until Baby was bigger.

Scott messed up a bit. Baby is belly rubbing/venting all over the cage. Not Sassy. So far baby has finally got over the jump and mount thing. Stopped late last night and they slept next to each other. baby squished in next to Sassy. Sassy looked at baby and went back to sleep. They were still there when I woke up. They have hunted crickets all morning, and basked. Sassy does not seem interested in baby, but tolerant. Baby will explore and come back to where ever Sassy is to resting.
