they're very cute little geckos, but I hope you don't mind if I make a few suggestions on how to improve their housing...

1. They really shouldn't be housed together. Even if they are both females, they can fight. Fighting leos can severely injure and even kill each other. Trust me, I've seen two females go at each other like they were aiming for the kill, and it is horrifying.

2. SAND!!! It might look 'cool' but it's not natural to them, and they WILL ingest it. They will get a mouthful of it every time they lunge after a bug, and they pick up particles of it on their tongues as they 'taste' the air. Babies are particularly susceptible to impaction, and by the time you see signs of impaction, it's often too late. View this link to see what 'digestible' calci-sand did to this gecko:
