CWD housed with AWD

I know the two species can co-habitate, but does it matter what sex they are?

Thanks,

Mark

Ive only known one person to house a CWD and AWD together, but this was with outside enclosures... as AWD's need lower humidity around 50% and CWD need higher humidity.

Male AWD's have been known to tolerate other males, im guessing with a good amount of space. CWD's can be tempermental, females and males alike, its really gonna be trial and error IMO

Thanks, Morquinn.

Yeah, all the folks at the reptile stores suggested that I don't mix the two. One also said that the AWD was not an animal that likes to be handled. Is that your experience too?

Sorry for the late response, it has come to my attention that AWD's can be a tad more tempermental and less handeable, but from the people who I know that own them they seem to do great. My Asians can be alittle jumpy at times, I dont think its cuz they are scared, I just think its cuz they wanna go where they wanna go, my younger female is quite timid and shy and pretty much sits frozen on our hands, while the older one is very active and all over the place.
