Introducing 2 females

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted on here, but both of my leos are doing very well. :)

Now that my younger leo is now 1 year old, I've decided to start introducing them to each other (they are both females). Today, I introduced them to each other for the first time. I used a 10 gallon tank with some paper towel on the bottom with no hiding places or anything and just watched them interact. They did great and had no problems whatsoever. They both checked each other out and smelled each other and then went about their own business.

So, my question is: since this first introduction went so well, how many more times should I do this before they will be ready to live together? Also, any other general tips on females living together would be appreciated. Thanks!

I recommend you clean out the cage they're both going to be in thoroughly, move the furniture around and put them in there together. Even if they seem to do well at first, keep an eye on them for the first few weeks to make sure that they're both eating and that neither has scratches on her.
