[jml_3]

HELP!!!

it happend yeasterday i was home sick and my dad knws i wanted another leo so when he came home from work he had a little petco cairer and told me to open it and there was a baby leo that lookes like it going to shed . it lookes alot like my other one but a lot smaller because i dont have another tank my dad made me put him in with pheonix which is 6 almost 7 inches and my baby is olny 4 .they seem to get along well cuz they sleep tougher and they dont fight. but jw i have read that most leo's you get from petco are female is that true? anyway sorry this was so long ijust dont knw what to do either keep them tougher or take thee little one out??

I would keep a close eye on them. It could be that the larger one will dominate, making it difficult for the smaller one to thrive. How large is the tank? Would it be possible to put a divider in it? A ten gallon will be to small for them both to stay in for long anyway. Good luck!

yeah it is a ten but but when i get my new dragon tank the leo's are going in a 30

Yes, there is definitely a problem there. The bigger one will bully the small one, taking the food, and stressing it out. This could cause problems. NOt to mention aggression between the two that can result in death. I suggest seperating them.

yes i have been watching very colsely and feeding the little in a rubbermaid tub when i get money i will but another ten gallon tank

 

[jml_3]

at what age can i sex them or is it by weight? also wht size is big enough for one?

 

[Baker14]

Why dont you just house it in a rubbermaid tub?

 

[jml_3]

well idk i like vivs they look nicer and it makes my office look good.anyway what would i use as a lid if i go with the tub cuz i got two cats that likes to get into truble

yes get that leo out of there. you shouldnt house 2 different sizes like that because even though you dont have problems now you most likely will later. id say use any container that has a lid for a temperary fix and put a heat lamp on it. also the petco by my house is a all male store so it depends on the store. please house that leo somewhere else he may stop eating or get hurt. walmart by my house is selling 10 gallon tanks for $9.99 maybe you should check your store? cheap price to save a life

tomorrow i am going to sell a game to buy him a ten gallon tank so he'll be fine till tomorrow i think

You could just get a tub at wall mart and punch holes in it untill you can get a new tank.

i got a new tank on saturday but no UTH i got a infared heat light on him i think 75watt.they both seem to be doing a lot better in differnt tanks will post pics soon

 

[Grossman14]

Vary nice good 2 hear they are doing good.

 

[jml_3]

got a UTH today but it is almost the same size as the tank but i think it will do it was on my 30 gallon dragon tank(dragon is in a 7 foot cage now ).The leo's are both shtct just found out today

You can sex them at around 6 months. Not all leopard geckos from petco are female, many are but not all.

Congrats on the new leo. Post pictures of them. Definately keep them separated until you 100% sure know that sex and they are the same size. I like housing individual, but at least make sure they're the same size and both female before housing them together.

yeah ok i think thefirst one i got is a male cuz it has two buldgs and femoral pors and the secend one is to small to see anything.about how many millies should they eat a day? and what about crx?
