I have 3 leos. I would like to reduce the # of tanks being used at this point in time. I have a large, med large, and small. Im not sure how old the biggest is but she is n adult for sure. The med one is a little over a yr old. Can i put them together? Im 98%a sure they are all female.
Any suggestions and/or advice would be great!

If you are not sure they are all females, then no.

If they are not the same size, the no.

Female leopard geckos may tolerate being housed together given similar size, and large enough tanks to have lots of hides for them to be away from each other. But even if all the stars & moons align, there's still a chance you may have a feisty female that won't get along, or they would fight during feed time or when a female ovulates. So I would recommend extreme caution when putting them together. Ideally they should be housed separately.

If you have a large enough tank and 2 females that don't get along, you could split the tank with a divider in the middle. That's another option that would allow you to shrink the number of tanks.
