Two Giant Day Geckos Together?

[DaGeckoMan0260]

Hello, y'all!

I have a P. grandis (Giant day gecko) and was pondering the idea of giving her a friend in the future. I have a 68 gallon tall Exo-Terra bioactive viv with live plants, (Pothos, Palm), springtails, and dwarf white isopods and was wondering if the two geckos would get along. Has anybody done this before? If I did do it, it would be with two females. The one I have now is 1 1/2 years old and eats like a champ. About a month ago she laid two infertile eggs.

Thanks in advance!

Dr. Klarsfeld says: "Giant day geckos thrive in well-planted naturalistic terrariums. Because giant day geckos are arboreal, the enclosure should be vertically oriented. Screen and glass enclosures measuring 24 inches tall by 24 inches long by 12 inches wide will comfortably house an adult pair."

Here's an excellent care sheet written by Jonathan Klarsfeld, DVM with links to his facility and contact information.

Thanks for the reply, Elizabeth!

Hopefully I'll get another Giant Day Gecko soon.

P.S. The day gecko I currently have is named Elizabeth:biggrin:.

You're welcome.

Phelsuma grandis are so big! It really seems like an enclosure larger than 24 long x 24 tall x 12 inches wide will be much better for them!

Did you name your P. Grandis after someone? There were/are other Elizabeths in my family: aunts (Bess and Betty) and Elizabeth too (cousin).

I name my reptiles pretty casual names, for example, Lynne Lucy, and Carole are some of my geckos names. No, I did not name Elizabeth after someone.

I have 2 female Grandiis in a 18x18X24 Exo terra and they get along fine. But they have been together since they were juveniles, and I've had them in the same enclosure for @ 1 year. Grandiis are territorial and introducing a new one into an enclosure already established for another might cause a problem.
I have also been told by someone who has bred Grandiis for years that eventually they will get aggressive toward each other and that I should separate them.
