Geckos cohabitating

[ang3l3s]

For those that say leos like to be alone check this pic, they live in a 70 gallon with multiple hides and 3 huge moist hides yet every night they sleep together. Sorry for the crappy pic.

are these all females, or are there males there too? if so, how many males? more than one?

 

[Airedale]

Have you conditioned them so they are diurnal instead of nocturnal? Mine are minorly active during the day (might leave the hide once or twice) but they are asleep 90% of the day and are active at night. Mine sleep during the day, and party all night! :biggrin:

Multible males kept together is not advised.

all females, i like to keep my males in a rack so as to not stress the girls, there are four females.. usually 5 but she is hanging out with a male now.

Putting Bahamut and Jubjub together

I tried putting my two male leopard geckos Bahamut and Jubjub together once a long time ago before I moved out to B.C. to attend university, and before I had heard about the male aggression thing in lizards. We placed Bahamut in the 35 gallon tank Jubjub was living in at the time and Jubjub didn't take it that well. Not surprisingly, he was the only aggressor while Bahamut wasn't aggressive at all. My brother-in-law assumed that was because Bahamut was really female. Which wasn't true because first of all, he was hatched male; second, Jubjub would probably have tried to mate with him if he were female, and that didn't happen; third, although they are rather small, Bahamut does have some hemipenal bulges. I assumed the one-sided aggression was due to Bahamut being in Jubjub's territory. If it had been the other way around, Bahamut would probably have been the aggressor. The age difference might also have played a role. In any case, we left them together for a day and since then neither of them have seen another gecko at all.

Very dangerous to put 2 males together, they could kill each other. It is best if they are the same size and weight but there are exceptions to this rule.

The Two Males Together mistake

Yeah, we learned that very shortly after we put them together. This was way back before I left for university more than six years ago and they have been seperated since then. Upon further research over the years I now know better too. So I will definately not make the same mistake again, that's for sure.

BTW you may want to finish that second quote tag...

My oldest is very active during the day, and sleeps all night. If you feed her before you go to bed, she'll have the same amount of food in the morning. Feed her in the morning, and it's gone by lunch!

My other, I never notice where he is...

As for the companionship. Mine love each other. They're always in the same hides. Unless if my GiGi is walking around. Lol.
