I have two leopards that I've gotten about a month or two now (their previous living condition was very bad, they hadn't been fed for a while before someone that came into the house they were at started living there and they didn't feed them until I convinced them to do so, until I got them and now they're putting on some weigh) and they've been relatively kosher, though avoidant of each other. I heard from various video, that depending on the sex they could be housed together for a bit until I could get another tank.
Unfortunately, because of their weight and their skittishness, and being a first time gecko keeper myself I didn't know how to properly sex them nor did I want to stress them since it took a bit for them to get used to my hands coming in and out of the tank. I sexed one, which was male named Mako, but not getting a properly look at the other I presumed it was female. Which, I just realized tonight while the other was shedding that the other, Dandelion, was male as well (I believe, maybe I should take a closer look). But, regardless they had a go at one another. ;A; And I'm worried it'll happen again which from what I've read will probably happen.
I'm an at-home college student and at the moment I don't work and no applications are coming through. I can try to convince my mother they need a divider, but I have no idea if that'll go through too well.
Should I consider giving one away?
Edit: I've also thought about putting a cardboard to supplement as a divider, although I don't know how that would go with the substrate I use, but would that suffice or would they nibble or tear at it?
