They have been living in the same enclosure together for 4 years before i even got them. They dont need to compete for hot spots because there are many. There is also many hides. This enclosure takes up my whole wall. Yes i am prepaired for eggs/hatchlings. I dont understand how i have several things wrong in this..but okay. I simply came here asking a couple questions. John1982 thank you for being kind. I gave them a bath because they were covered in rat blood and fur and poop -_- i keep all my enclosures well maintenanced. Ill post pics of them and their enclose. Also, next week they both have an apt at a local reptile vet. I dont think they lock to the point of exaustion or they wouldnt have made it the 4 years they've been living together. They accept food still . tomorrow i will try and feed them both a smaller rat then what the previous owner did.
