Housing Hatchlings..

[xGILGODx]

Is it safe to house crested geckos from the same clutch together?

It should be ok though you have to assume that one will dominate and begin to eat more than the others. How old are they? How many and in how big of an enclosure?

They haven't hatched yet I'm just getting ready I'm using a large breeding box and hopping its big enough for two hatchlings . I know its not good to house two males together and sense you can't tell the sex tell there older I was wondering if its still safe.

It's usually OK to house juveniles together before they're sexually mature. I do house my fat tails, leos and banded geckos in clutch mate pairs, but have been wary of housing my gargoyle hatchlings together because I've heard there is much more chance of aggression and tail nips (on the other hand, I'm housing 1.2 adult gargs together with no problem). I keep my garg hatchlings in 6qt tubs (about $1 each at Target) individually with a hide, something stick-like to climb on, a water bowl and a food bowl.
