If you have 2 mali uro's in the same tank and have had them there for about 2 years, and then seperate them, can they get seperation anxiety?

See I'm still getting stuff ready for Ares in his new terrarium and my brother doesn't want to seperate them for fear they'll become depressed and die.

I say that they're both males and they'll need to be seperated sometime soon or in the future. He might be getting a job 2 hrs away from home so he'd be moving also.

I'm just wondering if he's right and if Mali's get seperation anxiety or not.

Don't think any seperation anxiety will come of it. Can't be any worse than being snatched up and flown over here.

That is true. I don't think he got the job though but someday he will have to move so I might as well talk to him about the idea of seperating them now so he'll get used to it.

Then once we seperate them and know for sure if they are guys or girls then we'll be able to get a mate for them so they won't be so lonely (hopefully they will get along with their mate)
