Can Mali's and Saharan's play together? Respond Please

Triad Oct 31, 2004 09:36 AM

I was wondering after seeing TSparks pics if I could take Ares out and let him see Iris. They are about the same length with the exception that Iris is not as heavy as Ares but Ares is very very gentle (he loves sitting on cheeka the family dog, and he knows his boundaries when he's sitting on her).

I just would like to know. In case Orion dies I'd like to see if I could keep them both in a 125 gallon terrarium ( I believe they would get along terrifically. they are both very calm and relaxed).

Being different breeds helps.Are they male and female?Putting them in a new environment at the same time can help.Just watch closely for bite marks or weight loos.It can take a little while for these to show up.

Well I just want to know if I can let them play/bask together and walk around the house together.

I don't plan on putting them together unless Orion dies.

As good as can be expected at this point.

Everytime I go to inject his med into his peas he figures it out.

So I'm gonna try something different tonight.

Since he figures it out it takes me about 3 hrs to get it all in him from when he decided to lick the syringe.

What a pain! I am sorry to hear that he is not being a cooperative patient.

Yeah. I'm guessing there is a particular smell or taste to the medication and when he goes to lick the pea he is tasting it and knows that if he eats it he'll also be eating medicine so that's why he won't do it.
