introducing leos

[TheresaB.C]

I am a bit rusty at this, have not had to do this in years. How do I introduce My new gecko to my other two geckos. She won't be staying in the same cages as them, just want them used to each other. I just find it more convenient for time when i am clean their tanks, or a bulb decides to bead and these no heat source in a cage, etc. All my geckos (including the new one) are female. The new one is 6 years old and has never met another leo, so i'm hoping she won't react badly. So, how do I do this again? Or does anyone have a link to a site that has good info on this.

If they're not being housed together, there's no need to 'introduce' them.
They don't care about meeting others of their kind.

From what I understand, you want some indication that if they need to be in the same enclosure temporarily that will be possible. While there's never any guarantee that just because it worked once it will work the next time, to "test the waters" you can put them together in a neutral setting, i.e. an enclosure that's fresh and clean and didn't belong to any of them previously. This can be done either by setting up another enclosure (or using a tub --it doesn't need to be heated or fully furnished since it's just temporary) or cleaning a current enclosure and rearranging the furniture.
