In a large enough cage, would I be able to keep S. petrii in with S. sthenodactylus? I currently keep both species seperate and was just wondering.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure, but with most species of geckos, especially if they are from two totally different regions it would be bad to create a co-habitats. Even with slight differences in housing needs one gecko would lose out where the other prevails. Not including the two species may not be social with eachother the way that you may be hoping.
Typically the fail safe is to just not do it. But I have heard of newts and salamanders being housed together depending on their similar needs. So really it would depend.
If both species has the same housing requirements, and another gecko owner has successfully accomplished this without problems and prevailed with both healthy happy geckos, then it would only be a matter of whether the geckos personalities will clash or not. Monitored trials would tell you.
But before making any rash decisions wait for a more experience expert in this field to comment their opinion. I have never owned the species myself therefore can only offer advice and not a straight answer.
