Well I have recently created a new tank for my Collard lizard so I would like to put my two Leopard Geckos in the 20 Long Gallon Tank and they will bei n the sam place with eachother for the first time I have never done this befor I would like to know what to expect and I also still need to determine the sex of them but I THINK they are both female but not sure look for my post where I put pics up of thier backsides to see if anyone else can sex them for me to be sure please let me know what I should do or expect when I put them in the sam tank

THANKS!

I think they are females also but it's hard to tell with the quality of pics you had. First, are they the same size? If they are just make sure you introduce them at the same time so one doesn't have the time to mark it as "her territory". Next, make sure you have enough hides so they won't get stressed. My rule of thumb is "a hide per leo per side". So if you have two leos in a cage put two hides on each side of the cage. Make sure they don't have to fight over food. To do this just make sure you have enough food in the cage so that when they want to eat they can. It's hard to do with crix since they tend to chew on the leos sometimes. For mealworms just leave about 20 in the bowl. If you introduce them and you notice bullying or it just isn't working out I would seperate them again as soon as possible. Hope this helps.

you need to try and get better pictures so we can determine their gender easier.They both look like males to me but it is really hard to tell.If you do put them together then watch them VERY close in case they are boys,you might even wait for a couple more months when it might be easier to sex them.I just put my two females together in a 30 gallon long and so far its working out well,they don't seem to mind each other and are eating but I was terribly nervous that first day hoping they would get along.
