• Special measures at the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> association: <strong>Species</strong> were habituated <strong>in</strong> their<br />
<strong>in</strong>door enclosures while still separated by wire mesh.<br />
• Special behavioural observations (<strong>in</strong>tra- or <strong>in</strong>terspecific): After association A.<br />
ge<strong>of</strong>froyi was chas<strong>in</strong>g S. boliviensis and pressed them hard.<br />
• Problems and risks (animals, technical, vet. medical): see above<br />
• Cause <strong>of</strong> problems and trouble shoot<strong>in</strong>g: Association was term<strong>in</strong>ated; association<br />
might be manageable if access to outdoor enclosure would be made possible from <strong>in</strong>door enclosures<br />
<strong>of</strong> both species (selective access).<br />

• Special measures at the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> association: S. labiatus was habituated to the<br />
enclosure first. C. ge<strong>of</strong>froyi was <strong>in</strong>troduced later, us<strong>in</strong>g a smaller cage which was put <strong>in</strong>to<br />

• Special behavioural observations (<strong>in</strong>tra- or <strong>in</strong>terspecific): Physical aggression between<br />
species.<br />
