Male
Default Keeping two Chahoua males together

As I have just written- is it possible to keep 2 Chahoua males together? It troubles me, because I'm almost convinced I'll buy two Chahoua juveniles in Hamm in December, but there is a possibility that both of them will become males and I won't know what to do then. Please help.

I wouldn't suggest it, males of rhacodactylus can be aggressive. Obviously it would be best to not stress them, or cause fighting if you can prevent it. You could always get 1 baby and wait 8 months to see what sex it is before getting another one.

If you're picking 2 up, the best possible thing you can do is house them seperately regardless of age. They have a very high prey drive, ESPECIALLY when they are young, so I imagine the last thing you would want to do is end up with one getting injured or an accidental death.

Males should never be kept together.

Yea, I'll second what Stickyfeet mentioned.
One baby chewie could think the other baby chewie is a prey item when it moves and lunge for a attack. They could also attack each other just because of aggression issues.
Regardless of age Males really can not be kept together.
Two hatchlings should really not be kept together either for the reasons stated.

Just to elaborate on the high prey drive, there are a lot of times where I drop crickets in the tank for them, and some of the crickets don't even have a chance to hit the ground. They are good hunters, and as soon as prey is in the tank they go into their stealthy-hunter mode.
