I would recommend keeping them separated for a minimum of 30 days. I usually aim for a month or two, if my newly obtained animals have never been housed together. Like jadrig, I think the worming can be skipped. If you do your homework and set them up properly you will most likely succeed in keeping them.

As far as housing goes, your planted tank is a lot bigger than most give. I applaud you for that, most keepers do not give the space needed for these geckos. Keep in mind that these geckos can negotiate a 3 foot jump with out any issues. If you start seeing a lot of bruised noses it would be a good idea to increase the size; the Svtek/Van Duin book suggests a minimum of 40x40x80 inches for the larger Uroplatus.

Good luck in you venture

Rob
