Two Lygodactylus Kimhowelli in 40cmx40cmx60cm(h) ???

Hey... Can I have two Lygodactylus Kimhowelli in this terrarium? I'll think one male and one female (no babys in there)???

Do you currently have them housed together or even own them yet? First rule, would be to accurately determine the sex of your captives. Males are easily identified by dark "pits" on their thighs (femoral pores). With their legs stretched out, it looks like a flattened out "V" with several rows of pores. If your eyes are good, you can also see their hemipenal bulges on a well hydrated animal. Sexing is best done in a clear deli-cup.

That said, as long as you are not housing males together, 2 L. kimhowelli can certainly be kept in a terrarium together. I always kept them 1.1 (1 male and 1 female). Healthy animals and you will soon have eggs. Good luck!

It's 1 male and 1 female together

That cage size is above 20 gallons or so. You will do well with your pair in there. Make sure to give them branches, a bamboo tube and some live plants. They'll use the plants and bamboo to lay eggs in.
