Suggestions for housing 2 geckos?

Okay, so I have 2 leo's now. I have a juvenile, and a full grown. The juvenile is still too little to sex, and the adult is a male. I don't want to take the chance of my juvenile and the adult fighting. I have the juvenile in a 10 gal long, and the adult in a 25 gal long. Any suggestions for easy housing both of them? Or like stands that I can keep both on?

Unless you're planning to breed, you won't be able to house them in the same enclosure. Your best bet is to look into one of those stands that can hold a tank on the top shelf and a tank on the bottom shelf. Check craigslist for tank stands. If you get one that will hold a 30" tank then you have the ability to eventually get two 20 gallon long tanks that will be nice for each gecko. If your little one is a female and you decide you want another gecko, you'd be able to house 2 females together (in a 20 long) if they can get along.

Adults (especially male adults) will harm the juvenile gecko, you definitely do not want to put them together. Also two males in one tank is not a good idea either, they will fight. I have two female geckos, one slightly bigger than the other, and they are fine together, but i have to separate them when i feed them as they will fight over the crickets. Two females (if the same size) should be fine together, or a male and a female (again only if they are the same size) And if you do house any geckos together that are the same size, you still have to watch them when they eat. You should definitely house them separately. :)
