The males fighting is correct, but you need to do a lot of research before you even add a female. A single female housed with a male can very easily get overly stressed due to the continual mating attempts. Yes, they will breed. Plus, are you ready for TONS of babies? A single mating can produce between 16-20 eggs. She will lay them 2 at a time about every 4 weeks. This too is very stressful on the females health if she is never given a break from egg laying. Once you have eggs you have to have a way to incubate them, knowledge of how to care for hatchlings, enclosures for all the babies when they hatch and homes lined up for all those babies. Please do a lot of reading/researching before you jump into anything.



Honestly if you want to house more than 1 Leo, it should be all females. Males are best left by themselves.



Another VERY important thing is that you MUST quarantine your new Leo for at least 60-90 days. Just because a Leo "looks" healthy when you buy it doesn't mean it's not haboring parasites suchas the deadly Crypto parasite. Moving a Leo to a new environment often times will stress the Leo enough to cause an outbreak of parasites. Paying vets bills for one Leo can be expensive let alone paying for 2. Your best choice if you really want a 2nd Leo is to simply house them separately. Leos are naturally solitary reptiles and by no means "need" the company of another Leo.



Like I already said just read/research and become as knowledgeable as you can before you make any decisions
