Housing different sizes

[Gopherhockey03]

Hey all! First i'll start off by saying I live in Minnesota! And being I live in Minnesota I have the small window of about 4 months of getting reptiles shipped to me and I don't even like that so not a option! I live about a half hour from Canada and the nearest reptile expo is 5 hours away and only happens once a month. But anyway the pet store in town just got 3 leopard geckos they will go fast I mean really fast. I ordered 2 more heat pads and everything else about an hour ago I have 3. 20 gallon longs 2. 40 breeders and a 1. 10 gallon. The one 20 is housing my Leo Luna. But anyway can I keep two baby Leopard Geckos together? And I only have one heatpad which my luna is using. I have a heat lamp and everything will that be alright for a bit? I just want to get these guys home tomorrow! Any help would be awesome.

I would say the babbies could be so long as its only for a short term and their in a nice 10gal and not crowded. Be sure not to keep them with the older leo though, might be snacks depending on the size of em all.

the older one is about 19 grams and about 5 1/2 inches long. So not a whole lot bigger

"not a whole lot can make a diffrence", i wouldnt do it. Most people wouldnt do it. Just get a second setup or make a divider temporarily that they cant climb(plastic folders?) Its not worth the risk.

I housed my babies together until i had to seperate them because they were: a male and female, or two males, or large size difference. I bought two leos at the expo in the fall, and I didn't have enough heat pads, (I know bad girl, I keep spares now) til the one I ordered came. So for about a week, I used a red lamp for one of my adults. It worked for the short term, but he wasn't happy about it.
