Mark,
Thank you very much for you reply. I appreciate the info on the sand and the tip about paper substrate. I was looking for something a little more appealing to the eye than newspaper, but that is good to know in any case. I think I will try to keep them both in the same cage for now, but I do have an extra cage I can use if they don't get along. What would be some signs that they are not getting along? I mean would they actually fight, or stop eatting, etc?

Thanks again,
Brandon
