Yes ! thats why i took both to the vet just to have an idea of issues to look out for in the new guy, and he was cleared.

i just added them in the tank together for the 1st time last night and my female keeps trying to get on his side.
I have a peice of flat wood (1/2 thick) to seperate them with the bottom of the bedding raocked up and of coconut fibers to cover it
