Other Species Compatable with Leopard Geckos

[xtacsoulja]

I've been planning on totally rebuilding my Leo's viv., and was just wanting to know what other species of gecko or other reptile, would be ok to house with her. When I first got her (4 years ago), I had her with 5 green anoles, and she ate them:evil:, I just don't want the samething to happen, (or vice-versa). Also what plant species would be suitable for her. Thanks:biggrin:

It's not generally considered a good idea to mix species of any type.

Leo's are the most compatable with....other leo's!! Mixing species is a very bad idea; it causes stress, possible fights, or even death!!
So if you'd really want to keep another species; buy a seperate enclosure.
Kind regards,

I don't think you should keep another species in there, unless maybe it is another species that normally inhabits the same areas as Leos. Mixed species Vivaria need to be very carefully planned out. The animals are probably going to be stressed out so just hold back in mixing species now. Also Lithops, Hawthoria, small species of Agave are good under strong lighting as with most desert species. Make sure that you replace the soil because it could have deadly pesticides. If you have sand in your enclosure I suggest mixing the area for the plant(s) with completely organic compost. Hope I helped and sorry for being so long.

I've had luck mixing some species, but leos are not one of them! I've kept baby leos and aft's together with out problems, but they do start to fight at about 6 mos. Adults will stress/kill each other.
