Hey,

You're definitely going to have to be more specific when it comes to house geckos. House geckos can be anything from Gehyra marginata to Cosymbotus platyurus. The most commonly found "house geckos" in pet stores are Hemidactylus mabouia, Hemidactylus turcicus, Hemidactylus frenatus and Cosymbotus platyurus. It is not advisable to keep any of these species together. Also, when keeping them it is advisable to keep 1.2 or so at the most in a ten gallon aquarium. Don't put two males together. If you have any more questions let me know. I've bred all of the species that I've mentioned.
