What do you mean by "a pair"? Can you sex them yet?? Make sure that they are not two males that you want to put together, they will fight. Also, is one full grown and the other still very small? If so the larger one might eat the smaller one. Don't get panicked by what I just said, they have to be VERY different (sizewise) for that to happen. Otherwize you can put them in right now. If you can't tell if they are male or female yet don't put them together, it could be two males.

assuming by pair you mean a male and female, it is too soon to put them together. If I remember correctly, female crested geckos should be at least a year old and 30 or 40 grams before being bred.

If you are positive these two are female, then you can put them together unless there is a sufficient difference in size.
