Can my cherry head and yellowfoot babies live in the same enclosure? They dont fight or anything and they are very laid back in general. they eat and are active. Any tips?

I think its perfectly fine to keep reds and yellows together, I would just be worried about keeping them as a pair.

I'm not a fan of this. The reasons have been spelled out previously. Redfoots and yellowfoots may share similar habitat requirements and environmental parameters, so that's the only argument that can be removed from all the others (novel interspecies pathogen/parasite exchange, slight dietary differences, differences in aggression/behavior, etc.) There's many threads on here concerning this and I'm pretty sure someone else posted about a YF & RF housed together recently. Dig around and see what comes up.
