question about proximity of leopard geckos...

[Cephalectomy]

Hello,

I currently have 2 leopard geckos placed on a shelving unit in separate tanks on different levels, I was just wondering, where one is male and the other female, they no doubt can smell one another, is there any harm in this setup? I haven't seen him do it, but I'm pretty sure the boy (he's about 6-7 months old) has rattled his tail a few times (haven't seen it, but I could hear it) which I've read is related to mating/dominance. Just wanting to know if this is ok, thanks!

No harm at all. Rack systems would not be such a successful housing method if they were bothered by being in close proximity.

Hey Tony,

Great, good to know. I figured I was safe but just wanted to be certain, didn't wanna stress them out
