It will depends on my salary lol. thx all! _________________ Ben 0.0.1 Bearded Dragon (Uresaii) "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mistery, but today is a gift...that is why we call it the present". -Tortoise Oogway Back to top tupinambis Senior Member Joined: Dec 09, 2004 Posts: 617 Location: Earth Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 3:11 am    Post subject: Chelonoidis carbonaria and C. denticulata can easily be housed together when they are of similar size. However, true C. denticulata get to be about 5 times the size of an adult C. carbonaria (and no, I'm not talking about the dwarf cherry heads here) and at that size, although they may not be overtly aggressive towards the smaller ones, they do tend to be bullies around the food. Just something to keep in mind. Back to top Ben3233 Senior Member Joined: Nov 04, 2007 Posts: 940 Location: Canada, Québec, Pointe-Calumet.
