You're mixing species from different parts of the world, which is never a good idea. You did something that's got you worried, again, not a good idea. You didn't do any research before trying it, the worst idea of all.

Your best bet is to separate them before something happens. If you're running out of space, don't add any more animals. It's that simple.

i didn't do it yet so its all right.but i also read that these two species actually have similar habitats. i have a huge 24 x 24 x 36 inch custom tank so they do have enough room and ive seen some setups of kuhli that are very similar to mine. but i do understand that this would be impossible due to the different parts they come from

I am a recently kuhli owner. What I have read is that they come from very warm humid environments and a basking site of 90F is used by both my male and female daily.

Crested Geckos on the other hand do not appreciate the warmer temps. So I do not think these two are compatible in any sense of the imagination if you want both to thrive.

My flying geckos are doing quite well in the smaller 12 by 12 by 18 Exo terra but I am moving them up to the larger 18 by 18 by 24. They aren't that expensive so just buy more tanks if you want more animals, or don't get more animals.

Also, Crested Geckos thrive just fine in large rubbermaids. I have a whole breeding colony happy and healthy for 4 years in large tubs. They are another alternative if you need housing rather then cramming two totally different species together.

I didn't say they NEED to, I said I see both of mine (different cages) utilize a basking area daily.

I still do not keep any reptiles together, not even Crested Geckos. I give each animal it's own cage. In the long term, that's always worked out best for me and the animals I've kept.
