So my mom's friend wants to get rid of her Leo. I said I would take it because I already have two and I have had them in the past also. Her Leo is two or three years old and my two geckos are just babies. I was just wondering if I could cage the old Leo with the mine? I was thinking about putting them in seperate cages until my two little guys grow up a bit.

They absolutely must be kept separate until they are close in size, then you have to make sure its not two males. The older one could eat a baby, definitely stress them out and bully them. Where do you go to college

Totally agree, also you didn't mention sexes, don't house males together unless you want one less male and don't house a male with a female unless you want dozens of extra babies.
In addition, if they were of the same size and temperament, when taking in any new animals into an existing collection you should really quarantine them for a time just to be sure. Best thing is just to accept the geckos with their housing and keep everyone separate.
