2 in the bed

Hi

I'm as green as the grass when it comes to this. I'm getting my first Gecko tomorrow. She is a 1 year old Super Hypo Carrot tail. The person who is selling it also has a 18 month old female Tremper Albino for sale. They have never been housed together.

My question is, can they/will they live together?

Thanks in advance

Carl

Congrats on your new gecko I just got mine last weekend and they are probably the best pet I have ever owned. I speak from experience as I have owned many pets in the past.

Regarding your question, I myself don't have much knowledge on this subject, but seeing that nobody has answered your question I will formulate a conclusion based on my research:

As long as the geckos aren't too big in size difference, it shouldn't be much of a problem. There is truly no benefit in keeping two female geckos together, although it can be done.

How large is your enclosure? A 36x18x12 enclosure would be recommended for two geckos, however, you could pull it off with a 24x18x12 enclosure.

Best of luck and have fun with your new gecko

Put them together and watch them carefully. If one doesn't eat, looks scratched up or loses weight it's likely that it's being bullied and you'll have to separate them. Have a separate enclosure prepared just in case.

Also --please pay attention to what subforum you're posting on. I will move the thread this time. Look at the choices and pick the right one, don't just post under the first subforum on the list.
