Not trying to be argumentative but there is a huge difference between being tolerant out of neccessity and being social. A gecko will NEVER get lonely if kept individually. But if kept communally they will lose toes & tails, get stressed and shy geckos might not get enough food.
After 19 years of keeping and breeding Leos I have come to realize that the safest and most stress free way to keep any reptile is in a cage by itself. Like I said, just my opinion.

That being said, I also realize that you will not get much breeding done unless you put them together and then you just have to hope they work it out and find a pecking order.
