Hello I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member... I'm a realitivley new Gecko owner I have had my Albino Leo "Zoe" for a year now and yesterday I just got a African Fat-Tail Gecko "Chubs" (though I believe it may be female) That needed a new home. (They are really hard to find around here) and I'm waiting on my local store to get in their new morphs (as they are all in Quarentine. I do have one question for anyone who reads this and maybe they could message their personal opinion on housing them together? They are separate til I make sure my Fatty is healthy but I have seen several videos and forums on other sites where they can be housed together and I'm interested in doing so.

Welcome to the forum.

I would advise against keeping them together. They come from different parts of the world and have different humidity needs. Mist the fat tail periodically and not the leo.

Thank you Aliza... that was my thinking so I went ahead and set up the Fat-Tails Habitat last night... I was curious... I know that you should not put a hatchling or adolesent with an adult Leo but if I had two adults what should I do with introducing them? So I need to watch them or do it slowly over time? Or do I just put them in the tank and let them be?

Your avatar picture is really cool! :main_yes:

If you have two adults of the same species, you can put them together if they are two females. If you notice one bullying the other, you can always separate them. Don't put males together, as they will fight. If one of your adults is male and the other female, I wouldn't put them together, since they will mate and produce babies (unless you want to breed them). Also, if your male has only one female companion, he will stress her out a lot, plus she might end up with lots of bite marks and scars. I have about 4-6 females per male if I keep them together.

I keep up to 6-7 females together in a very large cage with lots of hides.

Have fun with your leos!

Thank you very much! That is what I was thinking but I was just checking I was also wondering if anyone has experience raising two babies together? I would like to have two and figured I always have a spare ten gallon in the basement so if i had to separate them I could!
