Thank you for your response.

You are correct about the male killing them. I decided to get two more females and watch closely. That very day I caught the male attack the tail of one, then shortly thereafter try for her midsection. I was fortunately able to move the branch they were on in time to save her. I then captured the male.

I spoke with the pet store I purchased the females from and they offered to trade my male for another one who would not be territorial, coming into the females' domain. He was also confident that my [first] male would not be aggressive putting him with the store's lizards since it was unfamiliar territory to him. He agreed to watch closely however and separate the one I brought in and adopt him out separately if there were any aggression problems with him.

Now I have two females and one male that were formerly all housed together at the pet store. They appear to be quite content. I have even since removed two eggs and presently have them in an incubator.

They are terrific little creatures and I enjoy them much.

Thank you again for your reply.
