Question one: The Gecko I am getting tail fell off due to another Gecko and one has grown back, but if i was to put that Gecko with another would she be hostile or not mine it (planing to breed in the future)

Question two: The previous owner had sand in the 10 gallon tank for the Gecko, should i remove the sand and put down tiles/paper towel or keep the sand?

Answer 1: it's impossible to say how the tail-less gecko will do with another gecko (especially since it sounds asif she is the one who was beaten up, not the aggressor). Two things to keep in mind:
--before placing any geckos together, they need to be quarantined for at least a month
--after putting them together they need to be monitored both immediately and over time to make sure no one is bullying the other

Answer 2: Most people feel strongly that sand is not a good choice, so I'd recommend using something else. Some people feel that a 10 gallon tank is on the small side for an adult leopard gecko, so consider eventually upgrading to a larger one.

Good luck with it.
