Is the new one a male or a female? How big is the tank? How many hides are in the tank?

Well, first you just quarantine the new one! Steve has awesome and healthy geckos, but no matter who you buy from you should always quarantine for about 60 days. Also, the new one is probably nervous because it is in a new environment. I would recommend putting the new one in it's own cage until quarantine is done and that will also give it time to adjust.

Good luck with your new gecko, and congrats!

The climbing on top of eachother is more thank likely to show dominance. If you have to house them together, they should be fine together. You will want to watch them to make sure everything is going well.

It's always very important to quarantine any new herp from other.

Females of the same size can be housed together, but you still have to watch out for signs of bullying even if you don't see it happening. If one starts to loose weight, then you can be sure that other is bullying for food, or it's sick.
