Okay, heres my problem... i just bought a 50 gallon tank for my 2 leos... well, 3 now... i just bought a blizzard today. The problem is, the first two leos i bought (they were 3 and 4 grams when i got them) i have just sexed as males!! the blizzard should be a female. The two leos that are males get along fine now... is that because they were raised together? My real question is, can i put the female blizzard in with the two males, or will they fight over her?? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Quarentine. Do not add any other animals to your collection that you have not had seperate in a seperate inclosure for at least 3 months.

Males should not be housed together no matter what age.

i know what you'r saying, but the males (that i just found out) have been living together for 4 months now, and they have been fine. if they were going to fight, wouldnt they have done it already...?

They don't start until sexual maturity usually

Right around a year or so. Give or take 2-3 months. I'd say ---- Seperate them..

Also, there were like 10 Leopard Geckos, all the same size, in this tank at one of the pet stores I used to frequent. Nothing happened with them for 2-3 months. The next week I visited. They were all separated and were being sold at a reduced rate because most of them had big chunks taken out of their tails, except for the "chunk-taker" who the owner took home himself. Lol.

So, the moral of the story, Separate and Quarentine.
