Housing klemmeri males together?

Hi!

How aggressive is male klemmeris towards each other? Can I keep three males with one female?

I would not suggest 3 males of klemmeri together since like all phelsuma species males are territorial. 1 male with 2 females is a good combination providing a bigger terra and plenty of hiding spaces

Even if by some miracle your males got along, you would have a very stressed out female on your hands.

Yeah that was my reasoing as well but you never know, in some species the accepted ratios of male/female housing is different. Thanx for the input

I had a 2:1 klemmeri together for a little bit but separated them. Despite being in a decent sized well planted terrarium, aggression definitely occurred at sexual onset. I would have never even attempted this with other phelsuma spp. but had read somewhere that a few male klemmeri could coexist.

NO, don't do it.
