I have two male hermanns who were living together happily for 3 years with their old owner, but when they came to live with me last September the larger tortoise (7yrs old) starting attacking the smaller one (3yrs old). He actually cut the little one above the eye so they have been separated now. I don't know If i would have left them to fight out dominance over the new territory if they would have eventually got along, but I chose not to risk it. I think it was the moving house which spurred them to start fighting out the new territory, I don't know if they'd never moved if they'd still get along?
