housing question

[brooksylc]

Are cave geckos happier living in pairs? I recently took in a pair of them and they have been in the same enclosure for a year together (breeding over the last year apparently) and I was told that separating them would be stressful. I am getting a custom enclosure built for them and wondering if I should separate them or keep them together.
Also what would you dream up as the "ideal" home? I want to make their enclosure(s) as amazing as possible.

Would seperate them if have been breeding just to give the female a rest to recover from it. I seperate mine once they've had a few clutches and reintroduce 6-8 months later

My female just laid a clutch yesterday. How long do goni's retain sperm for? I am not sure if anyone knows. And if there is anything special that I should be doing for momma gecko since I know that laying can take a lot out of geckos.

She may lay a few more clutches without a male present. As long as shes fed a good diet with plenty of supplement on then she should recover enough but constant breeding will reduce her lifespan
