I was wondering if you can house a male and female together perminantly in the same cage? Will they fight?

I have a new leo named Mr.Crowley. He lives in a 20 gallon long tank all by himself. Here is a picture of him if you go to the url below...

Sometimes this works sometimes it doesnt if you house them together be prepared for eggs, also if the male is constantly trying to breed seperate them or if they fight.

Since he is just a hatchling, I would advise against it. If you'd like another leo, you can divide the cage and have them living seprately. I would suggest only to keep geckos together permanently if they sexually mature adults. In fact, I have two adults living together right now, and I think it's a great idea.

Leopard geckos living together as hatchlings can be worrisome because:
One can grow quicker than the other, and since it is larger, it bullies the smaller one
It's not 100% certain of their gender -- you could end up having two males, and find out only after they begin fighting with each other.
A more mature male can force a younger female into mating, even if she's not old enough, resulting in an egg-bound female.

Good luck!
