First of all I would get a bigger tank. I keep mine in about a 45-50 gallon and although people may lead you to believe that they can do well in smaller terriums I believe they need as big as space as they can get. They are very shy animals and like to be able to hide from one another except during the breeding season. To get them to breed you need to try and stimulate the breeding season as much as possible. To do this keep them cooler and dryer during our warmer months and warmer and wetter during our cooler months. Also leave them alone!!!!! Try not to disturb the geckos as much as possible and offer a variety of food choices.

should they be separated for a while and then introduced together of should i just leave them be together
