Hey guys. I'm new to the forums. I have an approx. 2 year old female leopard gecko. She's in great health. I've had her since she was a hatchling, and the only incident we've had was when my stupid cat broke into her cage, and my gecko dropped her tail. It has since grown back nice and pudgy. For a long time I have wanted to get her a cage mate, but the one time I tried it was a disaster. About 9 months ago, I bought a juvenile gecko. I divided the tank in half with a screen so they could get used to eachother. After a month, I opened it back up. My big gecko, Oryon, started beating on the little one whenever it would go near her. She would bully it when it was trying to eat crickets until finally it didn't try and eat. It got to a point where I knew the little one was not going to do well, and I gave it away. Other than that time, my gecko has lived alone. I found a site tonight, leopardgecko.com, that sells "giant" geckos. I would like to get a 7" male to put in with her. I am assuming that since he will be atleast her size, she won't mess with him like she did the juvi (4"
. Does anyone think I'd have a problem getting a young giant to room with her? She's in a very big tank with plenty of space. Also, once the giant gets big, will he want to pick on her? I really want a pair, but I feel like my gecko is too much of a loner and I don't want another disaster. Thanks for the help guys!

i wouldnt house them toghther till the juvi is at least 10-12 months old the adult will probably bully him. and also i would at least get another female cause the male will stress her out trying to mate with her. hope this helps...

My female is 2 years old. I think tomorrow I am going to get a 16month old blizzard male that I found through a local breeder. He's incredibly docile, and he's absolutely gorgeous. I hope everything goes well. I wonder what kind of offspring I might get from a high yellow jungle female and a blizzard...
