WalkingRock was raised with a brother... after 7 years, we had to rehome Rocky because the fights where getting vicious and Rocky was almost killed when we pulled WalkingRock away from him (he was pinned against a wall and WalkingRock was ramming him) he had some minor cracking in a couple of places on his shell....Note... Rocky is doing just great at his new home and is "The Prince" in his neiborhood!

It is not advisable to raise 2 Sulcatas in the same enclosure.

As Zamric stated this kind of fighting will usually be the norm. If wanting to keep sulcatas together you should have a ratio of 2 females to 1 male and in a very large enclosure, with lots of site barriers, hides, and feeding/ water areas. Even then problems could arise.

Of course. Just build two separate enclosures. Or if you meant, can you keep only one and sell the other, yes, you could do that too, it would matter to the torts if one wasn't around.
