When should I seperate my juvinal males?

-JayDog- Dec 13, 2004 10:24 PM

I recently got two juvi leos from Petco. But they are too young to sex. I think that they both may be males but I can't be sure. If they do turn out to be males, at what age or weight should I seperate them? I think one is oler then the other becuase it is larger. I've had no problems so far.

Thanks

If ones male and ones female, they make babies, maybe to early and they female will be hurt from it. If both are males, they will get in a fight sooner or later, one dead or hurt probably. If both are females, they might end up in a fight. Seperating makes it easier on both of them, since they don't have to compete over the best hiding spot, or who gets the last cricket.
It's OK to keep the 2 females together, but it is better to seperate them in my opinion.
