I've been reading about housing female geckos together, and apparently they'll get territorial and fight like males do? I've had my girls for almost a year and they haven't fought at all. I'd like to get another female but now I'm not sure if I should.

Haha, another quick question actually. I got a longer 20 gallon tank so my geckos could walk around more, but the cage is closer to where I sit on my computer and now one of my geckos rubs against the glass next to me a lot. Does this mean anything, or is she smart enough to know I'll pick her up after a while? She loves to be held so I've been assuming that's her motive, but I want to double check and make sure nothing's wrong.

If you want to add another female to the mix, its fine to try - but first you will want to quarentine the new female for 60-90 days prior to introducing her to your other females. Also, you will need a larger tank - a 20long is not large enough for three leos. A 40gallon breeder would work well.

Perhaps it would be easiest to buy a 40breeder and put the two leos in it, then quarentine the new leo in the 20long.

Make sure the female is the same size (at least an adult), and just monitor all three of them and be prepared to separate them if there are any signs of issue (fighting, biting, one leo not eating, losing weight, etc etc). Also make sure to add extra hides - you will want a few hides on the warm side (and a very large heat pad so that you can have multiple hides heated to the appropriate temps) and a few on the cool side, as well as a couple of humid hides. This allows the leos to have their own space if they want it.
