Geckos having sight of each other

[sushikam]

Ok, so I ordered a 20/29 long tank and will be using it to house two geckos. I am planning on dividing it into two by using a piece of acrylic in the middle. I was just wondering, is it ok for the two geckos I will be housing in here to have sight of each other? I mean they are both female (one not 100% on that yet, may be a male) and they will be separated by the sheet of acrylic, but I wonder if that's ok? I ask because I have the choice to get a clear piece of acrylic or frosted acrylic or even just solid black acrylic so that they couldn't see each other at all. Would it be best to keep them from being able to see each other? If the other ends up being a female I may remove the acrylic and house them together, but it's not really my plan anymore like it used to be...I like the idea of keeping them separate just for safety and health.

I originally wanted to house them together just to save space, but splitting this tank works out perfect.

Anyway, any thoughts on what color acrylic to get that would be best?

If you get clear acrylic and tape either construction paper or add contac paper you can start with an opaque look and then change to a clear look if you want (or start clear and go opaque if it doesn't work out). I don't think it will be a problem with 2 females. I separate my hatchlings with clear plexiglass and they don't seem to mind the one in the next enclosure.

i think it would be ok, i mean they can't hurt eachother, but if it seems stressful to one or both of them, i'd make sure they couldn't see one another.

Ok, thanks! I was just worried about stressing them out. I may just get the clear acrylic and use contact paper if it doesn't work out.
