Lygodactylus reunited?
I got two lygodactylus mombasicus. They're siblings and about 1,5 years old. I got when they were both just little babies, and I put them straight away in a big 32 gallon (18x18x24 Exo-Terra) terrarium. Gecko A started to boss around almost instantly and Gecko B was always sitting in some corner all black. B wasn't growing as fast as A. Well, that obviously didn't work, so I bought a small 12x12x12 Exo for the little one and put it there. Now it's full grown (still not as big as Gecko A) and a really brave little gecko. Gecko A isn't that brave anymore, but still doing well in his huge kingdom.
Now, the question is, that I'm thinking of buying a bigger terrarium for Gecko B. But I can't help but to think, would they get along now when they are bigger? If I would do complete renovation to the 32 gallon tank, put even more flowers etc, would they be able to live with each other? Or should the tank be bigger if I wanted them in a same tank?
If we were talking about leopardgeckos, it wouldn't be such a problem, you could just try it out and see what happens. But these animals are soooo small and fast, catching them is a nightmare for both me and geckos. I had to catch the bigger one (A) last year, and it stayed dark for days! And the cathing took about 2 hours...
So, I was wondering if anyone had ideas or experience with these situations?
And to make things more complicated, I don't know their sexes. I've tried to see, but they're too small! :P
