Yes, its not a good idea, as I have seen pics of the leopard lizards(gambelia) eating a collared for a snack.

Go with your instinct of putting them in another tank!

Also Your older male is very handsome in his (glorious years pic)
may I ask how old he is now?

Oke, Thanks.

I will put them in other tank.
But a leopard eating a collared??
My collareds are to big for it.
I'm more worry about fihting eachtohter.

The male was already 5 years when I both him.
Now I has him for 6 years.

If he was a large leopard lizard , and you have smaller collareds he may snack on one. But yea if your collareds are all adult (larger, they may just fight.)

But I'm sure that you do not want that either. As it is very stressful.

Well from what I have always read and heard , collareds do not even fully mature until atleast 3 years of age, so 6 is not really his last days.

Your guy is quite handsome in the pic!

I think he meant his male was 5 years old when he bought him, and he's had him for 6 years, meaning he's 11 years old.

Brock and I witnessed a female collared puff up and stand her ground when a leopard lizard came too close. I was unable to get a photo but Brock got some video.
