NO. leachies will EAT all smaller geckos. gargoyles will eat tails and also smaller geckos. some people have kept virgin males together, or same-size crested/gargoyle/sarasinorum together in a large tank with multiple visual barriers and hiding places without incident, but it is strongly advised against due to the inherent risk.

as far as keeping cresteds together, be sure there is no greater than a 3 gram size difference between young geckos; 5 grams for adults. always keep an eye on everyone to be sure there is no bullying or fighting going on.

also, how are you going to keep the humidity up in a screen cage?
you are always going to need a backup tank when you have more than one gecko due to the possibility they will need to be separated for any reason, and for quarantine purposes. if your 2 grow up to be male and female, they will need to be separated as soon as you can determine their sex to avoid premature breeding.
