Leopard Geckos: Sexual maturity...seperation of males

[lifeshighways]

I have two males and two females... they all seem fine together, no hostility or aggression and they eat well with no problems... my fear is keeping these two males together even though they've been together for several months now, I'm concerned as sexual maturity grows closer they'll begine to realize they dont really like each other so much.. no idea how old they are.. but the bigger one is 7 inches (including tail) the smaller is not quite 6 inches...

so i ask of you all.. how old is sexually mature?
how old before I should seperate them?
what are signs of aggression to be on the lookout for?


thanks in advance!

6 and 7 inches should be around 6-7 months, that 's also the age where you should seperate them

maybe they will not clearly attack eachother but one will get stressed
or you mgiht find one with it tail shortened

pics would help

i believe 9-12 months is maturity tepending on the gecko
they might be fine togther (IF) you dont breed them

I'm sorry but I have to disagree.
I've NEVER seen any of my male reptiles(leopards, crested, bearded dragons) live together harmoniously.
Also, if the male is in the same enclosure as the female,...they will breed.
I house females together, but the males are always on their own, other than when they're breeding, and I never put the females into the males bin,..only the male into the female bin.
Maturity takes from 7-12 months, depending on size/weight, and while it is not the smartest practice, if they are up to weight by 8 or so months and showing signs of sexual maturity, many breeders will run them, even though theoretically it is much better to wait at least a year, to ensure that the gecko is fully developed and prepared for breeding.
