i heard you can put AFT's with Leo's.. now do you have to do the if I have a male, put in a female i'm assuming? and will they in that case try to breed? can they breed?

there is nothing else that can live in the same habitat as a leo is there?

1.1 Hollond Lop Bunnies *Panda, Oreo*

You can, but you really shouldn't... they have different humidity requirements...

I have read about them breeding, but no cross-species have been produced...genetic difference too large

i've heard of people putting green anols with there LG

Leopard Geckos would eat a Green Anole. Not healthy for either.

This is very true...especially if you consider that one comes from the Northern Hemisphere in a more desert environment, and the other from the Southern Hemisphere on an island off the coast of Africa.

my friend has leaf geckos in with his leos. And i dont think aft can go with leos. the afts need more humidity,. BRYAN

In theory then, couldn't you create a humid tank for the afts and a dry side for the leos, and connect them? Say by combining two tanks, but connecting them on a little like a tube between them. Basically have two seperate environments in two different tanks, but combine the tanks so they could be living together? Just a thought.

Why go through the trouble?.....

1.0 australian shepherd/cattle dog (Foster...although he was being fostered before I got him...that has nothing to do with his name...It's after the beer!...lol since he's australian and I'm a college student!)

It was just a question. And it's not like it would be very hard, I just wondered if that would work.

people are always coming on here asking if such and such can be put in the same tank as a leo. Environmental conditions are only one thing to consider. What people don't seem to get is an even bigger problem, which is that parasites that are endemic and basically asymptomatic in one species, like coccidia, can be fatal in another species (like leos). So you can put two different species, healthy seeming animals in together, and a parasite that casues no problems in one species goes and kills the other animal or makes it very sick.

Just don't do it.

She is absolutely correct. Many diseases are species specific, and can have devastating effects on other reptiles.
