new viv for introducing grandis to each other

[AWW]

Hi all,

I have 3 grandis sisters who have been separated since they were little and I'm hoping to pair up two of them in a new viv I set up. It's a 18x18x24h exoterra (see pics, 2 front, one left side, one right side). I have 3 pieces of bamboo large enough to crawl into, several basking spots (horizontal bamboo), and 3 clusters of snake plants to hide in.

My questions are:

-Is this enough hiding spots to diffuse/provide escape from aggression?

-What's the best way to do the introduction?

I know that some pairs work, some don't, so there will have to be some supervised experimenting. I'm also aware that I'll have to make sure no one is hogging the basking spots/food even if they're not actually fighting. My plan is to put two in at once so no one is on 'home turf'. Thoughts?

Any comments/critiques on the viv or the pairing plans are welcome!

A very lovely setup you have but I think you may be taking your chances with putting your girls together after being separated.

I can only speak from my own experience: I had 2 grandis sisters in a well-planted viv much larger than yours. They had lived together their entire life (6-months old) and were only separated overnight during their shipment to me from the breeder. In less than a month, I observed intimidation and hostile gestures. If I had left them together I am certain they would have started outward violence. I firmly believe grandis are happy as can be living alone or in a compatible 1 male to 1 female pair.
