i heard male leos will fight if they are together but i went to a pet store to buy some food i saw a bunch of males laying over each other.did they get used to each other?

Are you sure they were males? Often people don't correctly sex the leos...you could have all females or a male and some females. If they were all males, most likely they were still very young and were not very territorial yet. Another explanation could be that while males will fight extremely often, they will not fight 24/7 and you might have just caught them at a peaceful interval between the fighting.
Males rarely, if ever, get used to one another since they are very territorial. Never house known males together...

1:1 leos...soon to be 1:5!!!

I think if they grow up together they *might* get along.
I sexed 5 or 6 leos for a guy that was mainly into snakes but had some leos in his shop that had been together since babies.
He had 1 female in with all those males, there were no signs of fighting or breeding.

I wouldn't recommend trying it though.

One night my girlfriend had one of my males out on the floor and I brought another of my males out not knowing that she had one already...
We were lucky one or both didn't die, it could have been much worse than it was. I had to get one to bite my finger so they would let go of each other.
I got hurt the worst, and it taught me to be SUPER careful with them.

I'm not sure if they get used to eachother or if they are raised together but my friend has 2 male tangs living together that get along. They sleep in the same tree log hide all the time too. The one male is 45-50 grams while the other is probably about 40. Definitely both adults and were sexed by a breeder
