Wouls I be able and would it be safe to add a larger, full grown leo to a tank with 2 smaller, younger leos. My friend offered me his, though his is older and larger. Thanks.

There are several reasons I can think of:

1) The large gecko may eat the baby. This DOES happen.

2) The large gecko may intimidate the babies so that they stop eating and growing.

3) You're supposed to quarantine any new pets for a minimum of 3 months before even thinking about introducing them to your current pets.

4) Is your tank even big enough for all three geckos?
