I went very well!! Just a few things I had questions about! The way I introduced the two was in the tub, I was ready for some fighting or something, but nothing!! They just sat there and stared at my roommate and I like "what are you humans thinking" So we left the bathroom for a little while and came back, they had moved around a little, one climbed over the other one to get the other end of the tub and there was no reaction! We left them in there together about 30 minutes, then I took Ambrose and put her in her cage and a few minutes later stuck Spike (the new ig) in her cage too. Ambrose went directly to the top on her basking area and Spike came up behind her and relaxed. Well Ambrose put down her dewlap and head bobbed a couple times, which made me uneasy. Spike on the other hand was very calm, he just sat and looked at her. Well a little later Spike moved over to a different stick. They were both tongue flicking like crazy and then Ambrose turns around to go over to Spike, which scared me! But she got halfway and turned back around. I think I scared her! Well a little while later we got Spike out of her cage and put him back in his own. His cage is right next to hers so they can see each other.
The funniest thing I have ever seen happened after we separated them!!! It seemed as though they want to be together again! They both sat very calm plastered against the side of their cages snout to snout staring at each other. There would be a head bob here and a head bob there, but no aggression, their dewlaps were not down. It was just too cute!!! Later on when it was bed time, I laid a towel to block their view of each other. My question..........was this whole thing good or bad? I have never seen my ig head bob, funniest thing I ever saw!! I think they were more worried about the humans than each other!!

Any comments or concerns??
