i know its generally frowned upon, but could you put spearpoint leaftailed with satanic and maintain peace easily? or what are some other species that may coexist? also, how many spearpoints and/or satanics will thrive in a 20gal long?

You could proboly mix satanic and spearpoints without any problems but why would you want to. If I was you I would just go out and buy another tank and keep the species separate. As for the tank I imagine you could keep a pair or trio of geckos in it but I wouldn't do any more than that.

well because in my room ive got a 100gal (made by me) for a pair of ornate uros, a 20gal for a snow ratsnake, 20gal for two female leopard geckos. the way my room is set up, i have room for one more 20 gal, but i cant decide b/w satanic and splt hehe i love em both. my parents also think that my room looks like a petstore... so they are going to bother me if i make another two 20 gals appear. the reason i want to mix is just to have a variety in the tank to look at. and also i have a 20 gal available

Hi I'm from the uk so don't really talk in gallons, my viv is an all glass with full mesh top and measures 36ins L x 18ins W x 20ins H, I keep 2 male phants and 3 females, plus 1 male ebenaui and 2 females,I have not had any problems and have been keeping them for about 18 months.There is lots of cover and bark to hide in, and they all have there own favorite sleeping places, hope this helps.

when i went on vacation i had my buddy watch my lizards... he put my pair in his 55 along with his 1.2 lined leafs, and 0.1 mossy leaf, and they were fine. its also kinda cool seein all the different types in the tank. but i guess it would kinda suck if one of em got sick or somethin... and he's raisin my two baby henkels for me too in his satanic tank for another week or so, cuz they're a little smaller than the satanics

I think it would be okay to keep the two species together but a 20 gallon aquarium is not large enough to house a pair or each species and I don't think anyone should keep uroplatus without keeping a pair because uroplatus are theatened in the wild and we are in grave need of CB animals in order for the survival of the genus.
