I just recieved what I thought were a pair or leachies, now I believe they are both males. I took them from a neglecful situation and I was told they were apair. But after looking I think they are males. Will two males fight in the same enclosure?

I've done a little research on leachi's and from what ive seen breeders recommend housing them seperate other than breeding season. I have no first hand experience however, i just plan on getting one soon.

Yes two males should be housed seperately at all times. Housed together they will usually show aggression towards each other.
Also sexed pairs, of approx. the same size, can be house together throughout the year without any problems. A brief seperation period before they are introduced for breeding is helpful.
Those geckos look old enough to be properly sexed, take a picture of their vent area and maybe we can help with the sexing. Both sexes have a little buldging but the males is way more pronounced. Also when you have them turned over look above the vent pores. Males have them females don't. The pores look like little dots in the center of the scales. They will be there ona few rows above the vent. Pretty obvious on larger animals.
