    "The Girls" move in together.........

    Well, now that Chili's had her l'il peppers, I decided it was high time she shared accomodations with Deejay. I moved them Sunday, and it was kind of comical at first.
    Deejay, having spent the last few weeks trying to crawl through the glass because she could see Chili in the next tank, and couldn't get to her, decided it wasn't so cool once Chili was actually present in "her" space!
    This new arrival made life decidedly unpleasant -- immediately taking over the hide, and climbing all over the branches that had formerly only been climbed by Deejay.
    There was much head twitching and tail lashing. So much tail lashing in fact, that it made watching TV rather difficult for a few hours! And I began to wonder if maybe I had done something terrible for Deejay's psychological state. Maybe she'd been traumatized and would need therapy............aaaaarrrrrggghhh!!
    But by today, everything seemed to have settled itself. I added a second hide, and some extra greenery, and earlier, I caught the two of them right next to each other, although when I looked in Deejay gave a few tail-lashes just for good measure!
    For the most part, though, they're spending their time rather calmly now:

    Yep! She was whipping the glass of the tank all night. Made quite the racket too.

    My melanistic Easterns do that when they disturb each other... even though they've been together for months.

    yup, my female parietalis does the same thing when I introduce males. Only for a couple of minutes though

    They look very nice together, Anji. :-) Glad they settled in together!! Mordecai did a ton of tail whipping when I first moved Curious and Reed in with him. Funny to see.

    Also, I've found it's a good indicator of how tame a garter is if you are holding them and when you touch their tail the flick it. It means they're comfortable enough with you to treat you like another snake.
