My new girls! :)

I just bought two beautiful girls from my friends at Ryval geckos, they're in the cage I built and I'm really excited to have them! Their names are "Butch" Cassidy and Sundance, Cassidy is a beautiful APTOR and Sundance is a large Stripe, they're just gorgeous!

They haven't eaten since I got them (48 hours ago) I'm not concerned yet. I think Sundance pooped while I was asleep last night in the calcium dish, so that's good (I'll probably have to move the dish though)

I am a little concerned with the behavior of the one though, Cassidy hasn't left the one hide in 24 hours (at least in the few hours that I'm not at work I haven't seen her out) I hope the other one isn't bullying her... she weighs 56grams as of a few days ago and the other girl (Sundance) weighs 71 grams seems to be a little more social, visits her in the cave but generally they stay in seperate hides. They're from the same hatch, they were hatched 2 days apart from the same parents, I just hope Sundance isn't bullying Cassidy, because I'd prefer to keep them in the same enclosure. I haven't seen them fighting. Is her behavior abnormal? Or is it just a normal adjusting period?

I would give it some time and just keep a close eye on things. If you notice anything drastic, like one won't eat or still won't leave the hide in a few days, then I'd be concerned.

Hey - I'm picking up a lovely male from RyVal Geckos this Saturday! I'm so excited. I don't live far from you both.

*UPDATE*

Day 4 of the Butch N Sundance hunger strike... hopefully this ends soon, I have dishes that I feel confident in now, and I'm 90% sure that the temps aren't irregular in the tank.
