Hey!, i just created an account finding this gecko forum a lot better than geckosunlimited. Since this mainly directs to real leopard gecko enthusiasts and professional breeders, i just thought id ask you guys a question. I have a 20 gallon long leopard gecko set up with what i believe is an adult female jungle mack snow, definitely a female . I really would like and get another gecko that has a crazy look to it, such as, blazing blizzards, carrot tail, enigmas, raptors. And i would like to know if i can put another gecko in with the one i have currently?

Welcome! A 24 inch tank is recommended for an adult. To house 2-3, you would need a 30-36 inch tank, or larger. Those are the normal recommendations.
But, you would have to quarantine the new one 30 days, preferably 60 to be sure you are not introducing any diseases.
After that, there is always a chance that they will not get along.:( Also if you are sure this is a female, then you would want to be sure and get another female of the same size. The bigger the tank the better chance of the two females getting along. They can have their own hides, and space.
Hope this helps. I am sure others will chime in.:D

IMO a 20 gallon long is big enough to house 3 adult geckos if it is setup properly. Typically two females will get along just fine, but I have found that if there is an aggressive gecko in a colony it is the female. Just keep an eye on them and be sure to quarantine your new geckos as smc133 suggest.
