We had 2 but it turned out we had 2 males.... turn bad so now we have just the one

and the other one? where he goes?

My wife is a Montessori teacher and we used to take both to school till they started fighting.... one of the other teachers fell in love with the spieces as a whole and always asked about them... when the fighting started we asked her 1st and she jumped at the chance! Now Rocky has a yard bigger than WalkingRocks and is the toast of his 'hood! Here's one of his last pics in our yard with WalkingRock.... we really hoped we had a mating pair! WalkingRock is the larger of the 2... but now thier about the same size. Rocky is doing well!BTW This is how the fighting starts... 1st the mounting the the ramming.... sometimes ramming like to Adult Rams, running full speed into each other... we feared for Rocky when we caught WalkingRock ramming Rocky into the building sideways and dammaging his shell

Good looking star. I have found their behavior to be very fascinating, this is a good example of why.

We told our vet about the fighting and he told us they will fight to the death if the large males can't run the smaller ones off and in a confined space like a yard... there is no place to run off too.
