I have 2 leopard geckos that are housed together but I have always taken them out seperately to feed them. They got along fine (they are both juveniles). I have had them that way since I got them a couple months ago. Last night it was late and I got lazy ( I freely admit I was stupid) and decided to hand feed them while both were in the cage. I fed the one because he/she always likes to eat first. When he was finished (when he refused anymore food) I went to feed my other one. The minute she took a worm he tried to grab it out of her mouth. I quickly pushed him back and he attacked my hand and the feeding tongs. When I went to grab the other one out of the tank he took a swipe at her tail. Luckily neither one has any marks but it scared me half to death. I then quickly made up another tank and seperated them. I just wanted to share my story for those that ask if they can house their geckos together. I feel so bad because it was all my fault and I made a stupid mistake which could have caused serious harm to my geckos who I love so much. From now on every one of them will be seperately housed.
