Fat tails and leos?

system_of_a_down Sep 05, 2005 06:01 PM

Sorry if this sounds stupid but whenever i read a caresheet on fat tails it usually has leopard geckos included in it, does that mean they can be housed together?

Their care is similar in that they are roughly the same size, both terestial, eat the same diet (though I have never gotten a fattail to eat a meal worm), and temps are similar. That said my leos are far more aggressive than any of my fattails. They also have different humidity requirements (fattails need more humidity). They are also from different continents (Asia for Leos and Africa for fattails). As such I would NOT house them together.
