Will they fight?

Mxrider129 Mar 20, 2004 11:00 PM

I have a desert night lizard and I'm thinking about getting 1 or 2 Israeli Sand Geckos but I don't know if they'll fight. Any ideas?

Night lizards are larger and more aggressive, but the dune geckos have a strong will to defend their territory. They should be kept separate. Just spend a little more and buy them a 10 gallon.

is there any other alternative? my night lizard is tiny he's less than 2 inches and I've decided I'm only getting one israeli sand gecko. Also my desert night lizard is never really out he's usually always hiding underneath his water bowl or his little half of a log thingy and I've had him in with two 4 inch alligator lizards and they did not fight.

It may work out, just monitor them very carefully.

I gave the alligator lizards to a friend. I have a 10 gallon for my night lizard.

T. mauritanica is a very aggressive species.
