Tokay Gecko and Marble Gecko

[morla]

Hi! So I am thinking of what type of geckos I want. If my parents even let me get geckos, I want to get 2 in a 20 gallon tank. The type of geckos that I really like is a tokay gecko and marble gecko. Can they live together in a 20 gallon alright?

A 20 gallon isn't even really big enough for a single adult tokay. Also, tokay are really not a good beginner species. They are quite shy and can bite extremely hard. They cannot be kept with any other species as they are very territorial. Mixing species in one tank is not a good idea no matter which species, especially when you're talking about something as small as a 20 gallon.
I think that you might want to read through a lot of the older threads in these forums to give yourself a really good idea of what's required with any particular species before you try keeping one.

Agree 100% with Ethan. You might want to look into Crested geckos, Gargoyle geckos, Leopard geckos and fattailed geckos. All are much better starter species than tokays or marbles. And Keeping a marble and a tokay together is going to end up in a dead marble.

Ditto! A pair of Leopards would be my number one choice. They come in really cool colors, are easy to handle, and even more forgiving on temperature over Gargs or Cresteds.

Once you've had some time with these guys as pets, you can work with more difficult gecko that are more display animal, and not a pet.

Good luck and enjoy!
