If you're planning to buy a reptile as a family pet, you might be contemplating the idea of getting two reptiles instead of one. There are numerous advantages to this idea, including the fact that if you have two kids, getting a pair of reptiles will allow each of your children to name their own pet. Whether you're shopping at a local pet store or using an online vendor that offers reptiles for sale, you won't have trouble buying two reptiles at the same time. Before you proceed, however, there are several things that are important for you to consider.
Social Nature
Some reptiles have a social nature, while others prefer spending time by themselves. If you're thinking about adding a pair of reptiles to your home, it's critically important for you to choose reptiles that will get along. A knowledgeable salesperson can point you toward reptiles that can happily co-exist together — as well as discourage you from buying those that don't do well with another reptile. There are several reptiles that will get along together, so it's important to focus on these types when you shop.
Behavior
It's a good idea to spend a little time learning about the behavior of the type of reptile you'll be buying. You can read about the reptile online, but it's also useful to speak to a salesperson who is knowledgeable about the reptile in question. An understanding of the reptile's behavior will allow you to assess whether your new pets will be happy together once you get them home. Conversely, you'll also be able to quickly notice indicators that the reptiles aren't getting along, which can then prompt you to separate them for a period of time.
Available Space
If you buy a single reptile, you should always choose a tank that will allow the pet to have enough space. For people who wish to buy a pair of reptiles, it's imperative to choose a tank that is even larger. Even if your reptiles are social enough that they can spend time in close quarters, they'll occasionally want to have their own space. A large tank will allow them to enjoy their own space when needed. This may be helpful to avoid conflicts that could arise from the two reptiles being too close together. If it eventually becomes clear that your reptiles aren't enjoying the company of each other, you may simply wish to buy a second tank.
