Thinking of housing Peacock days geckos

lint Jan 20, 2010 05:38 PM

Hello everybody, i have been keeping and breeding reptiles for a number of years but last year had to get rid of my pets. Recently i got a new place and can get some new reptiles. I\'ve always wanted peacock day geckos and have a source to get a pair. I have kept different types of day geckos in the past and know how to keep them properly. The only tank i have available is a very tall 40 gallon tank. I want to get a pair of peacocks and i know small they are i thought maybe i could throw in a pair of house geckos as well. Figuring they have the same needs and temps and habit, i know house geckos get along great with anoles and because the peacocks are diurnal and the house geckos nocturnal i thought it might work out. Has anyone had any experience with this? of course i would furnish the tank with lots of live plants and cork and bamboo and such. So if you are going to just tell me im dumb for mixing species no need for that. This is just a question asking for advice. Thanks everyone for reading!

Hi
A friend has pair of peacock geckos. I would give it alot of thought before adding house geckos only due to huge size difference .

House geckos are giants compared to tiny peacocks and house geckos are just rougher overall.

Another concern is that if you include two males, even though they are different species, the animals are likely going to scuffle quite a bit.
