Default Hello I'm new

Hi everyone, new to this forum, could a marginated expert tell me if keeping two very young males together (2 year olds) would be ok and if so, in your experience what age would it then become a problem, I am looking to buy two and have a nice pair lined up, the general feeling is they are both male but obviously at this early age it's hard to tell. I'll try and add pics.

Males should be fine together until they start fighting Hard to tell when that would be, but probably when they are around 5 to 6 inches long.

Thanks Danny, so my next question is do I NEED to get two together? I read somewhere they like the company but members on here seem to be getting just one. Is it the breeder trying to sell more? I'm quite happy to get two but I don't then want to part with one of them a few years down the line because they're fighting. And as has been pointed out it's difficult to sex them accurately at a young age
