In your openingpost you stated that you got one of them only a month or so ago, am I right? I believe it was the female?
Are you keeping them seperate now?

Oh no this other one( small one in the pic) is different, he is a boy he passed away this June :( and the new one is a female we got in September. I was asking about the territorial behaviour since the big guy behaves similarly with the new one.. we did seperate them but if he isn't a bad boy we can unite them again [emoji28] I hope you got what I said. Sorry for the confusion.

This species does not do well as pairs. There is always a dominant tortoise and when there is only one other tortoise, the subordinate one cannot escape the attention. The subordinate tortoise will get stressed and stressed tortoises become sick

They should be kept separately
