Congrats! Just keep plenty of appropriate sized shells available, and that will cut down on the chances of a fight. :) Make sure you're giving sources of protein (meat, seafood, insects) as well so one doesn't decide the other looks tasty.

Be sure to share pics if you have a chance! I'm sure Dwebble will enjoy having a buddy.
