I just finished setting up my new leo tank, its a 29gal tall put down on its side and im very pleased with the way it came out. i tried the tile thing because i heard great things, and it looks real good. my question is that ive had my one female for about a year now and i just put her in the new tank two days ago, she seems to like it she has been wondering around checking everything out. im planing on getting two more females at the hamburg PA show this saterday and i was just wondering if i will have any problems doing this. its such a big tank for just one, has anybody ever had any problems interducing new leos to each other, i realy hope they get along cause its such a nice tank and i realy want to fill it

BEFORE you put the geckos together you mshould quarentine them for 2 months.

Im glad Ryan mentioned the quarantine, that is pretty manditory to prevent any disease/parasites that your new leos have to your existing one.

And Leos even females can and will not get along. Its sometimes the pick of the litter. Some things to keep in mind when introducing them all together for the first time
- wash and move all the cage furnishings to get rid of territoriality
-have more than enough hides etc
-make sure they're roughly the same size to prevent bullying

also have a spare tank or something just incase it dones't work out
good luck
