How to tell when to separate juveniles.

[321ttocs]

I have two baby-juveniles in the same setup, and was wondering when to put them in with my adults setup. The adults are all older than 4 years old and the babies are at least 4/5 a year old or so, but they were born together so I don't want to separate them. should I put them with the adults or just wait or try to separate them. I have only had them for half a year, but they were up on for sale before that. The smallest one is 1 inch from the biggest adults length, but that adult could still try to eat the younger one, how do I know what to do? I use to only have one female, now it is becoming a problem. Not to mention the oldest one is at least 12 years old and only met another gecko for the first time in its life a year ago. What do I do?

If the gecko is big enough to not be swallowed up, chances are the big gecko won't try to eat it.
I would introduce them outside the tank and see how the bigger gecko reacts.

There are some keepers that suggest not to keep geckos together at all because they are solitary animals, but many keep 2-3 females together.

It's always good to have test runs outside the enclosure before throwing geckos together.

I would make sure all geckos are female, or that only 1 is a male (he will try to breed with the females) two males will fight each other to the death

What is the youngest a female can be to be with a male? I heard that it was 1 year. But what size?

45 grams and around 7 inches, her weight needs to be up.

I don't suggest putting males and females together outside of the breeding season because he can stress her out, and some males never leave the female alone and will constantly try to breed.
