male fighting

[sajane]

Can mature males live together if there are no females present? How old are panther geckos before they are considered adult?

please, does anyone know if adult males can live together without fighting if there are no females present?

I would imagine it would depend on how big the enclosure was. But any time that you put two males together you're going to risk fighting. And most likely one will become dominant and eat most of the food. While the other will be submissive and likely suffer from high levels of stress. It's not like picta need huge enclosures. Just separate the two into their own homes.

Ethan, I now have a male in a 10 gal planted aquarium with a uth on the side. Will that be enough heat? The bottom is deep with soil so I put the uth on the side, It doesnt feel that warm in the substrate.
