Housing question

[Pwfd323]

Good afternoon everyone,
I have recently acquired two leopard geckos. I bought them from a guy in town that getting rid of the due to him moving. One he had in a 10 gal, and the second one is in a 29 gal tank. My question is can I place both of them into a 55 gal tank. I don't have any more room for two additional tank in my office. If I am correct isn't one of them fixing to shed

Thanks

welcome to GU! The question is whether they are male or female. The only configuration with them together that could work is if they are both female. Two males together will fight and a male and female will breed. There's no guarantee with 2 females, but I've had success nearly all the time. I do recommend you get rid of the sand. Paper towel or reptile carpet are good alternatives and ceramic tile looks great and works well. If they're both females, set up the larger enclosure, clean everything in it and introduce the two into the enclosure. Watch out for any immediate biting or attacking (slow tail waving is just the "what's all this here in my territory" signal and often stops once they communicate their message). In the coming days/weeks, watch for signs of one gecko bitten or scratched, a gecko that always has the other one sitting on it, one losing weight and not eating. These are signs of bullying.
if you don't have 2 females, or if they don't get along, consider getting a shelf unit where you can house the enclosures vertically.

Acpart basically covered everything. As already mentioned, I'd get rid if the sand. Sand is only safe if the care if the gecko is entirely correct; there's better substrates anyway
