Would it be possible to house a female Tokay gecko with a couple female leopard geckos? I'm purchasing a 55 gal. tank, super price, the only catch being it comes with a Tokay gecko. Would it be too humid for the leo's? Or should I start looking for a separate tank for the Tokay?
Thanks in advance!

I agree with everyone else, Tokay geckos are super aggressive. I was just talking to my girlfriend about this Monday after noon when we stopped at a local pet shop for her to get some crickets and they had a 10gallon tank with one of the largest full grown Tokay geckos I've ever seen(I'm talking 14 inches plus) and a very young 5 or so inch Water Dragon and 5 or so inch Fire Skink! All I could think was what the heck! And I was suprised to see now injuries to the other lizards!

Predicted result: One day water monitor will disappear. Skink might take a few days more since they burrow, but make no mistake, that gecko will get them both. Tokays aren't so much aggressive as territorial and defensive, but they have no qualms about eating smaller lizards, and sometimes lizards pretty close to them in size.
