How do people get mourning geckos to live in a colony?
Well, it seems my geckos are determined to thwart my attempts at getting an actual colony of these geckos because they blatently refure to get along! I tried introducing Cumbrae, the younger female, (after she had laid her eggs as I found out she was gravid at the time I planned to introduce them) but to my surprise the younger female really went for her mother, Skye, despite Skye being larger. While Skye wasn't responding agressively, Cumbrae was in all-out battle mode and caused some minor damage to her mum's leg and foot, which did look as if it drew blood, but it was enough for me and I seperated them before any major damage was done.
Am I going to have loads of mourning geckos living seperately? How do others maintain a colony of mourning geckos? I have a younger hatchling too, and I would like her to be able to join one of the others rather than have the three of them living alone!
