Question about housing geckos together

[Tegugirl3]

So I got a free Leo from a girl she is 6 years old not small but could use extra food for her tail my question is when she gets up to size could she go in with my two females and male there about a year old but same size as her but bigger tails and my male is bigger then my two girls ...the one I got for free is in her own tank right now my other 3 are together in a custom tank

I had heard from a few sources that it might be a good idea to introduce your leos all together in a neutral environment, like a plastic tub with paper towel. This way you can gauge how they react, and easily intervene if they start to fight without all the terrarium decor in the way.

Hello and a warm welcome to GU.

1. Your new Gecko MUST be quarantined before going near your other three Leo's for about 90 days, this is because the new Leo could have parasites or disease that could easily spread to your other healthy Leo's .

2. Recommended tank size for ONE full size Leo is 20 gallon LONG (30X12.5X12.5")

3. It is not recommended to keep Leo's together. Signs of fighting can be discreet and fights can break out suddenly and randomly. Consider housing all your Leo's seperately, its much less stressful for them.

Please be careful she introducing new Leo's . The scent on the new Leo will be different and what gender is it? It is likely there will be a fight. If the new Leo's a girl then whoever is the most dominant female of your old bunch will most likely fight the new Leo . If the new Leo is a male then your old male will fight him most likely, they fight for territory, food and the best hides.
