How old are they now?
They are. Well, were I should say. I've kept them separated for most of the time I've had them. I've tried a couple of times to reintroduce them, but one of them seems to pick on the other one (dewlap comes out, starts jerking its head violently and chases the other one away. I also saw 'him' lick the smaller one and open 'his' mouth to have a chomp, but I intercepted and immediately separated them).

It's possible they're two males and I suspect this, but there doesn't seem to be any way to know for sure at this age. They're only about 7 months old now. I wouldn't have expected sex-related issues at such a young age though.

Interesting to note is that they were housed together by the person who bred them (along with several other juvies) and none of this behaviour was noted by the breeder. And when I first got them they were only abotu 2-3 months old.
