I know a lot about snakes, however geckos are new to me. I am doing a lot of research though. I hope this isn't a question like "can you house a boa with a ball python" or I am going to sound like a real newbie to geckos.

My question is can you house a Giant gecko and a Crested gecko in the same cage? Cage is 2ft wide 2 ft deep and 3 feet high.

I believe that they require the same temperatures and humidity. The cage is around 83F in the hot spot, ambient temperature at 78F and at the bottom 70F, at night all these temps drop 4-5 degrees. Humidity at the bottom is at 90% and at the top 70%.
The only reason i could think of why it would be a bad idea is if the Giant gecko attacked the crested gecko, is this likely or no? I would be buying them both as babies.

I would also of course feed them separately! Individual containers
