I posted the species if you didnt notice. As for the rest of the pet shop comments, take into account the fact that I dont own it nor do I have the power to give every mantella we have a sepearate 10 gallon tank. Unfortunatelly you cant shut down every pet shop in the world and nor can I. The best thing we can do is provide the best care you can while being employed there. From what I have seen and experienced, these species live just fine together. No doubt there is some middle ground that they coexist on but they do not seem to be stressed or lethargic so thats the basis of my argument. Ofcourse the good way to keep a reptile is alone (in most cases) or in a pair but keep in mind that the best way is to keep it in its place of origin, aka. nature. I dont see any of the breeders releasing their glad ware containers full of leopard geckos. Any way theres been no problems so far and the temperatures I measured after cleaning the tank (it is a 2x2 after measurements) suit the herps living within. The top end of the tank stays 83-87 while the lower end stays at 74-78 due to the cold air humidifier and wet soil. Unfortunatelly I can care less for your THAT CANT BE POSSIBLE arguments because they will get us nowhere. I have my thermometer/humidity readings and you have your speculation. If any trouble arises in the tank I will let you all know so you can flame me further.
