Keeping male phants together?

[Kevin McRae]

I've heard some people say male phantasticus don't fight with each other. Would it be possible to house two males alone together?

it seems, from what I have read and heard, that it is more possible with phants and some other uroplatus, than with most other reptiles, but there are still occasional issues. Sometimes people are successful, sometimes they aren't. In the end it is just down to your decision really, but I would highly recommend reading this care sheet by *miguel camacho!* - http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...platus-phantasticus-caresheet.html#post130213 there is a section in there about male/male housing.
he did upload an agridged version as well, but I think that the more detail the better.

I personally wouldn't advise keeping them together, as I wouldn't want to risk their health or lives by keeping males together.

sorry I can't be more help.

Edit: it seems to be more of a problem once a female is introduced...

Thanks for replying.

That is a great caresheet, thanks.

I think I will go with a safe route and keep them in single ten gallons.
