Introducing Geckos

[contracteryin]

Okay, well, I just got a new 20 gallon long, and I'm for sure going to be moving Neara into it soon. However, I've also been considering moving Ahriman into it.
Neara is roughly 62 grams, a year and two months old, and 8-ish inches.
Ahriman is around 6.5 inches, about two months ago was 26 grams, but has visibly gained weight, and roughly half as old.
There doesn't seem to be a huge size difference, but I'm still semi-new to this stuff, so I was wondering if I should wait longer to put them together. I'm concerned that maybe something will happen with their slight size difference.
Neara is also a girl, and Ahriman is still unsexed but thus far looks female.

Thank you for any help and suggestions!

No, it's not safe to house them together. There is quite a difference in their size.

One is more than double the others size. That is a huge size difference. I wouldn't suggest it.

The only way it would be the 'safest'...is same size, both are females, and both were quarantined. I asked the same question here on this forum . Even female and male I was told woulnt be a good idea unless I really wanted to breed because the whole process can take alot out of a female and even worst case scenario can be fatal. Your basically in the same boat as I am...I hope to god my unsexed is another female so I can atleast try to introduce them. sometimes even females can turn on each other so its never 100 percent safe!

Yea xD I was really iffy about it... so, that's why I decided to ask, and my parents kept saying 'why not house them together, they seem close enough in size' but I really haven't wanted to 'cause I'm afraid Neara would bully Ahriman.. If I ever do introduce them, it'll probably been when Ahriman is around a year old. Though yes, I know even females can turn against each other, I've heard plenty of stories. If they are a male, they for sure won't be in the same cage come a year old.

As far as quarantine, Ahriman has been quarantined for nearly three months, and shows no sign of illness so that wasn't anything I was worried about. But bleh xD I feel stupid for asking now.

It's good that you asked, for your parents' benefit
