introducing leopard geckos to each other

[506raptor]

Hi guys well today i decided to introduce my two females to each other i put them in a bathtub because they need to meet each other in neutral territory. i kept them together for 1 hour and they showed no signs of aggression now i put them in the 30 gallon tank witch was the home of my other female leopard gecko but first i moved around the decor and hides so it would be new to the both of them

AM I DOING EVERYTHING OK? :main_huh:

Looks good, just keep an eye on em for a bit. Make sure there are plenty of hides etc in the tank and it sounds like you should be OK.

How old are your girls? I'm planing on expanding soon and was just wondering if my 7yr old girl would be okay with a new juvie?

I wouldnt put an adult with a juvie. The size difference can cause aggression with food. If your going to put 2 together I suggest putting 2 of similar size and of course 2 females or you can do 1 male and 1 female but only if you want babies

well i have a leo that just passed its juvie stage but i kept the adult and the juvie in a bathtub for atleast an hour and a half and they were fine and i checked this morning and thier in the same hide together and thier completely fine it also depends how aggressive ur gecko is

there is a difference between a sub adult (which is what i think your talking about) and a juvie (which is much smaller then an adult)

yes thank you for telling me that i ment sub adult thanks alot

I didn't mean it in a snarky way. sorry. I was trying to clarify that in your case it was a little different then putting a 7 year old adult with a juvie
