I have asked this before I really want to buy a baby leo and put it in my tank with my 2 adults 1 male albino n 1 female normal Do u think it would be ok to put the baby in there with them for a day or so just to see what happens and I`ll get one thats not to small like a juvie you know and if nething bad happens then put it by itself i really want to have just 1 tank though please wb thanks

If you're okay with the baby being bullied, and possibly losing his tail, it's okay to try..

Don't be dumb, think about it. If you've asked the question before, the answer is going to be the same this time.

Grr, excuse my post, it wasn't meant to be rude, and I know it was.

Mixing different sized animals in most cases is just a bad idea. I did it with corn snakes when I was 13, and lost both of them, because one tried to eat the other and suffocated because the other snake was too long for it to swallow.

When you go to the pet store (Petco usually) and you look in their leopard cages, notice which ones have missing tails. It's always the smaller ones, because the larger, more aggresive geckos have taken them. There was a guy on another board I visit who mixed an adult female with a 2 month old male, after multiple people cautioned against it, and he ended up with a dead baby, and his female had bite marks that becamse infected, which cost him 250$ in vet bills.

I don't think it's a good idea. Others on here will probably not think it's a good idea. Buy a 10g cage until he's bigger for 12$. Or, if more than one cage is really a problem, just don't get the baby. It's probably better that way anyway.

No way! You should not actually have the two you ahve now housed together! You will end up killing and injuring your leos and probably will end up with none! Best idea is no! Also should seperate the two you have for feeding, housing, lighting ect reasons! Maybe you should go buy a book, or read alot more info on the internet---Ron Trempers site is one of the best! I suggest you may want to look at it!

Seriously. How many times are you going to post this? Until someone tells you it is a good idea? The second time you posted this question I wrote a detailed message explaining to you, in detail, why you just don't mix sizes and how it didn't even make sense to try since you will need to buy/get a hold of another set up in order to properly quarantine the new gecko for a few months anyways. So if you have to quarantine the new gecko for, lets say 3 months minimum, then why not keep it separate for the 9 months it would take to grow it to the same size as your others?

I'm losing my patience so I'll be harsh if that will make a difference, if you actually want to come here for advice on keeping leos, you might want to consider taking what is given. Posting the same question over and over again will NOT change the answers in this case. It is very poor husbandry to even consider what you are continuing to imply you want to do.
