Right now i have a full grown male leopard gecko (Petey). he is housed in a 20 gal long aquarium and i was just wondering if i could put another species of lizard in his cage and if they would get along together.

Thanks alot
Timmy

Fat tailed geckos care is VERY similar to leos. But i would never risk the well being of my leos without a lot of good records saying housing a fat tail and a leo together was successful.

I would disagree. The humidity requiremts are very different between leos and fat-tails. While their enclosure size, diet etc are basically teh same. Fat-tails need more humidity, and I would not house the two together.

2.0 Leos (Spot - Normal but oh, so sexy; Jessie - hypotang)
3.2.4 Fattails (Henri, Suwannee, Valencio, Dixie, Isis, Zipper, Pheonix, Hissy, and Snickerdoodle)
0.0.1 redfoot tortoise (Sherman)
0.0.1 sulcatta tortoise (Tinacious aka Tiny)
1.1 Dogs (Zubin and Brenda)
0.1 cat (Mimi)

You should't mix speices and with leo's why would you want to half the morphs look like differeant speices anyway.Just get a female leo or if you have the space female leo's that looks nothing like your male give the same affect with out mixing.

I am not a supporter of mixing species for the most part, if you were going to try and do it a 20 long would be way to small anyway.

thanks for the info guys i was pretty sure that i couldnt but i like the idea of puting a female in there and plus i may even get babies and that would be pretty sweet.

thanks again
