well, a freshly imported leaf tail can be a fragile gecko, if not cared for properly and urgently. buying a leaftail at a reptile show, where you can see the animal is probably the best way to aquire one, but they are always dehydrated. But, they do rehydrate just as easily as they dehydrate. i ,personally, prefer aquiring "leftovers" from a show where i would pay half the price and take a chance with the needy animal. if cared for properly ,right away, they come around real fast, but at the same time they can slip real fast. the shedding was a sign of dehydration. they shed within a couple hours of a drop in humidity. it seems to me that the animal had slim chances from the get go, but you have to know what youre getting into before you get mad at the vendor. its like buying a car, youre lookin for sumthin to buy and theyre lookin for sumthin to sell... who ever does the most research wins out. and i never kept leaftails with anything else, but if the animal was healthy, the only downside i would see is that there is more competition for food. usually when mixing these animals, there is less interspecific stress, as opposed to mixing animals of the same species.
