Leopard and Tokay Gecko

[osbain]

Hi, I found a deal on two geckos and enclosure with all supplies on a buysell site. One Is obviously a Leopard gecko, the other looks like a Tokay Gecko. Is it a good idea to house these together? I am new to geckos, so is it practical to mix these two different species together?

It's something that is not suggested due to 2 different environments needed. You would need alot of floor space and alot for height. Plus i think the humidity for the Tokay could poss cause respiratory issues in the Leo.

and tokay's tend to be mean(to people anyway)

I sincerely doubt that it would be OK to put a Tokay with anything other than other Tokays. As a rule it is always a bad idea to house multiple species together.

especially when one is a "desert" reptile and the other needs humidity.

Thanks for the tips. It didnt seen right to house them together from the research ive done. But $100 for the two geckos plus 33 gallon aquarium with everything they need ( heat pad, lighting, etc) i dont think i can pass up this deal!, i think i may just keep the tokay and sell the leopard or house it separately.
