I've got 2 females (Hazel and Pirate) that I want to put in an enclosure together. They are about the same size and they're both healthy and eat well. I don't know how I should introduce them though. I've had them both out of their enclosures at the same time and they just ignored each other. I'll be putting them in a 20 gallon which has 2 hides on the hot side and 1 hide on the cool side and I'd add another one once they're together but right now I need it for Pirate. It also has a humid hide, a food and water dish and a hammock.
How to introduce my geckos?

You can just put them together and monitor them for a good amount of time to make sure there's no fighting or anything like that, or you can put them in a new tank, or a washed tank, so it's no one's territory.

Try to set up a mix/match of items from both original enclosures. Leos 'scent mark' their territories. And you can never have too many hides, both moist and dry! They should be fine!! Let us know!
I was going to wait until I sold Honey (Hazel's roommate) to put Pirate with her, but I haven't had any interest in Honey so decided to put the 3 together today. I cleaned everything and used some new stuff and mixed up stuff from both enclosures. So far the 3 are doing really well together. Pirate has already eaten in the new enclosure, after exploring for a while.
