Cannibalistic gecko???

[ChizoReptiles]

Some girl bought from me 3 baby geckos a while ago - 2 females and 1 male which was older in like 2 weeks
now she called and told me the male grew alot and he's at the size of a palm right now, and the other 2 females not so much, and the male ate their tails and now ate one of them, have you ever heard about something like that?
she have'nt seen him eating her, she's just assuming because he got really fat and one of them is missing
(of course i told her to seperate)

I wouldn't be surprised, honestly. That's horrible though.

I think it could happen. Once I had 2 gecko hatchlings and in the next section of the cage (separated by plexi-glass) a pair of gecko hatchlings 2 weeks older. One of the older ones got through the partition and took off both babies' tails.

I hope I never hear anything about my babies like that! So sorry you had to! I too think its entirely within reason and could happen. I haven't had it happen myself but I was keeping clutchmates together for a bit while waiting for my new rack and had a pair get over 10g apart in size in less than 3 weeks. I'm pretty sure one was WAY out competing the other for food and separated them the second I noticed. I was super surprised they could differ that much so quickly!
