African Fat-tailed Gecko and Leopard Gecko Housing Question?

To All May Concern:

Does anybody know if you can put African Fat-tailed Gecko and Leopard Gecko together in same enclosure? I have seen video on the internet that shows African Fat-tailed Gecko and Leopard Gecko together.

YouTube - My Leopard Geckos and Fat tail Gecko

Thank You,

of course you may do whatever you want.

however, the leo will bully the fatty and unless you seperate them your fatty will die.

if you read the comments (pretty far back) from that video, you will see that the owner separated his fatty and leos after becoming more educated. most of the most recent comments seem to be made by children.

Yeah, I gave him trouble for doing that. I really felt bad for the poor fat tail. Apparently he separated them, but I doubt it, he doesn't seem like he'd do that.

I'm a bit off topic but can you breed a leo to a fattail? I've heard of it in the past but they say the offspring always die. Is this true?

you can not breed a leo to a fat tail. it has been tried many times, but it has never been done. there have never been leo/aft offspring. this leads everyone (everyone except newbs, the gullible, and cons) to say it is impossible.

one question other than the looks and where they live whats the difference between a leo and a AFT? i have leos right now but in the future i was thinking of getting a AFT. i've heard u can hold them like leos.

fat tails require more humidity and imo there 10x better then leos. They are actually calm and will sit in your hands plus some of my fat tails will even eat outside the cage if offered.
