My famale is 7g, my male is 3g. Female was born 1 years ago. male born 11 months ago, HOWEVER, male looks VERY small compared to female.
I am nervous to go to sleep with them in same enclosure, so far no negative interactions, just ignoring eachother in enclosure.
How do I go about this?
Experiences?

Thanks

I have had no experience with these geckos but I would worry a bit if one gecko is twice as big as the other.

yeah I'm not familiar with this species either. If that's the normal size then it should be ok but I'd talk to the person who bred them

To introduce chameleon geckos, you need to start by housing them separately to let them acclimate to their environments. When ready, introduce them in a neutral enclosure with plenty of climbing spaces, hiding spots, and foliage to reduce territorial stress.

Monitor closely for signs of aggression, like chasing or biting, and separate them immediately if it occurs. Avoid housing males together, as they are territorial and will fight. keep in mind that the pairings work best with a male and female or two females. Always be prepared with a backup enclosure in case the introduction doesn’t go smoothly.
