Was a bit concerned for a few days, as one (now known as A'Tuin) was eating food readily, the other (Morla) was not. There was no fighting over it, just seemed A'Tuin took notice of the food quickly and gulped it down. Morla did eat a pellet or two, but nothing much more. Even when food was dropped close to her, she didn't seem to notice.
I fed them today and both were eating readily. Probably was an adjustment period for Morla, and maybe A'Tuin didn't care.
I have their water at about 75F, and a basking area that is around 90F. I am using a 75W Exo-Terra Sun Glo bulb, but thinking of getting a larger wattage as the bulb is a bit close to get that temperature.
Madness will reign.
