Introducing two geckos

I bought a 20 gal long for both of my geckos and I wasn't for sure how to introduce them so I tried to divide the tank using a fish tank divider...
Didn't work. The albino kept climbing over it and one night I found her on the my norm geckos side.
Now they seem to get along fine when I take them both out. The larger one sniffs her but I am not sure if thats good or bad. I haven't seen any aggression but I am nervous because I don't want the smaller albino to get a limb or tail off. Plus, I am not sure what the warning signs are.
They are separated now but I would really like to put them together (Having two tanks suck when you have limited space)

So they already have met but I am not sure what to do from here.
Here is some pics of them in the albino's tank (The albino doesn't like to be held so I just opted for putting my larger on in with her instead of stressing her out)

Is the size ratio ok?

Mine are close to that size ratio and they get along great. The only time that you might have problems with them is around feeding time. They can get competitive (at least mine do). I would suggest feeding them separately. Mine sleep in the same hides together (even though I have 4 hides in their tank).

I was kind of having the same dilemma. I had a 35 gram patternless and a 55 gram patternless. In the end it worked out fine.

I have two four month old leos that are housed together. One has had a growth spurt and is much bigger than the other. They get along perfectly. ;)

They should be fine, when you feed them I would try to feed them on oppossite sides of the tank just so the small one has an equal opportunity to get some food.
