Hey there. I've only posted in the redfoot threads but here I am with a question. A little back story. I have had a big male for about 25 years now. Used to have two but one passed of unknown causes many years ago. So I'm up in Virginia and have my big male inside the house over the winter. Summer he has free roam of the majority of the backyard. A few years ago I tried putting another male in with him thinking my big male was a female at that time. I was told it was a female many years ago and my mistake was not actually looking myself. Found out quickly my male wasn't a female but a male. I gave the new male back to the original owner since I did not want two males and my big male as males do became territorial.
So the same friend that gave me the male gave me an adult female sulcata. I brought her home and she is currently in the next room over from where I keep my male. My male during the winter isn't very active even with keeping it 80+ degrees in the room. Any ways when I got home it was at night. I placed her in her enclosure and my male in a totally different room unable to see this female became very active. Which again it's night time and there is a actual wall in-between the two rooms but there is an open door to the two rooms.
I think I'm already answering my question but to get the expert opinions can they smell one another? Thank you for your time and info. BTW yes I am able to keep them separate in the summer months also if needed.
