I just got two little lined day geckos and I love them, but the enclosure I have for them is very large and could hold more. Are there any other types of lizards that I could put in with them that would not eat them or they would eat or fight with?

I don't know much about these guys but I've read that a pair should have a tank that's at least 18x18x24. I've also read that they are fairly territorial and keeping more than a pair together may result in them isolating themselves and not meeting their needs. I would think that if the enclosure is large enough that you can provide multiple basking and feeding spots a similarly sized species of day gecko from Madagascar would be your best bet. I personally prefer to keep my geckos alone just to keep them from dropping a tail in a fight or worse.

I hope someone else has more experienced advice for you!
