Today i thought i'd introduce Lily and Nala seeing as i'd like to keep them in the same tank. I got out one of my spare 10 gallon tanks and put them in. Lily walked around for a good two minutes before she noticed Nala there LOL (they each had one hide). Once they both saw eachother there was some slow tail flicking by Lily and then they came right up to eachother and started licking eachother then went their own way.



I thought what the heck, lets see how all the girls do together. All five were introduced in the tank and WOW they all got along just great. I took the tank up to our bay window for some natural lighting and took pics.....i can't wait to get them developed!!!!! I ran out of film and i'm so upset cause Lily, Dot and Abby all grouped together one on top of the other placed their head on the others back and went to sleep.......How cute is that. Darn film....getting 36 films from now on hehehe.



They stayed together for a good 20-30 min with no fighting. The only one not to impressed was Zoe but that was like the second time out of her own tank.



Now if i get a large tank would it be ok to keep them all together.....they are all girls for sure. I do have a 40 gallon (18" X 36" but i don't think its big enough for 5 girls (10 gal/gecko rule). And if i do put them all together should i have little get togethers like today for a few weeks before putting them all into a new tank?



And to people who do keep groups of geckos together, how many bowls of food and water do you have in it?



I'll post the pics tomorrow (tractortrailer overturned at the lights just outside of town....roads are aweful so i'll wait until tomorrow to get them developed). They all look to be the same size, some differences, but i'd like opinions on if i can keep them together or not



Thanks and sorry this is so long, i'm just so exicted.
