I 100% agree with Shelley! I adopted 2 geckos a month ago, and it was a male and female living together in a 20 L. They can not thrive living together. The male was ok, but the poor female was in horrible shape. I had to seperate them immediately to get her health back up, and do not plan on rejoining them.

If you want several in a cage, get females. Leave your male in his cage alone, it will save you and your potential female alot of grief.



Shelley.. I do have a question though.

You said you have to be ready for tons of babies... but isn't it very unlikely for the eggs to hatch unless you're incubating them? Its true you're going to have a ton of eggs, and I hate to see that happen if they aren't going to be incubated... but they could be removed and not incubated -- no babies. Still, It is a bad idea to add a cage mate for the male, but I just wondered about that statement. Thanks.
