ok first i got my head choped off for sticking a new geko into a tank with my other leo, cause she hasnt been quarinteened so u needa do that for about 3-4 months it is SO HARD!!! but not u cant just stick them together...

So its a bad idea to put the baby leo with the adult pair?Should I even attempt to put the baby with the two adults to see if they are agressive towards it?

If not, I don't recomend putting a baby in with an adult.
That is aside from the fact that you should quarintine all new arrivals.

we just bout killed brendon for it. it does have a lil to do with size, but its more parisites, and diseases. quareteen is to make sure the baby is not sick in any way. every one here will tell you u need to do it for 2-3 months, some even 4. in those months the baby will get to size to put in with the adults.

Ok so I wont put the baby with the adult pair.I have a 10 gallon tank with only an under tank heat mat.Is this suitable for the baby leo?

That should be fine, just add a few hides and the basics.
