How old would you guess they are? I don't know how large they have to be before you can correctly sex them, but I'm thinking it's at least 12". One of the biggest concerns would be if you happened to have 2 males. Males can be aggressive, while 2 females can usually live together nicely. A quarantine of at least 6 mos. is recommended before mixing.

I've got 2 sulcatas (siblings). When I got them from the breeder I was told they were 2 females. But as I continued to read up on them I realized it'll be quite a while before I really know for sure because they're only about 9" now, and the herp vet told me he couldn't sex them yet. So far they totally ignore each other.
