When I first got my 2 female Grandii, Ginger and Jade, I was concerned about possible aggressive behavior. At first, Jade was a little aggressive toward Ginger. Nothing serious, just some territorial displays and occasional chasing. I thought that if it got worse that I'd have to separate them.
Well, the exact opposite has happened! After 2 months of living together they have become best buddies. They usually hang out together and even sleep in close proximity to each other. So now I have the opposite problem. As they grow I will eventually need to provide larger quarters. I don't think one 18x18x24 exoterra is big enough for a pair of adults. Originally I was going to get another 18x18x24--one for each. But now I'm thinking it would not be good to separate them. I've heard that Grandii can bond, but I thought that was just male/female pairs.
So suggestions: should I separate them or get a larger enclosure that both of them can share?
Thanks.

But now that you mention it they do sometimes climb on top of each other, but they both do it to each other. I have also seen Jade, the more aggressive one, poke Ginger to move her out of the way, but notice in this picture, Ginger (right) has her foot on Jades back.
