Gecko introducing

[Seany-p]

Today I purchased another female gecko to go in with a breeding pair we already have, is there any tips on introducing them too each other? There already have been minor skirmishes between the male in the tank which we thought was odd as in the past he's been nothing short of excellent with new geckos. The other female in the tank has yet to notice her new room mate but she can be a bit scrappy!

Have you quarantined yet?

You're asking for trouble introducing a new gecko into an existing environment with out quarantining first for at least 30-60 days and being absolutely certain the new gecko is indeed a female.

If u noticed one is scrappy there is no way i would put the culprit with any other leo

I hate to say it but if you weren't in a position to properly quarantine your new leo then now likely wasn't the time to get another leo. Set up first then get leo. You could have just jeopardised your entire collection that has come into contact with the new one. Honestly I don't understand how someone that breeds (usually you expect a certain degree of intelligence when someone reaches this level in the hobby) their leos is ill equipped to quarantine a new addition to their collection. Good luck with your leos.
