Baby leopard gecko with adult??

Question

Wel lI have a 6 year old leopard gecko. I was wondering if I bought a baby leo now would there be a problem? I will make sure it gets fed properly and has room but will the other leo give it hard times?

Answer 1

Your old gecko would not like it I'm sure. He's used to being alone by now! & plus a baby gecko would be squished by your older one if he laid on him or something.

I would not risk it.  

Answer 2

The baby gecko could end up being a snack for the adult Leo, if not injured or killed.  It would be a very bad idea to put them together.

Leos are territorial, and also carnivorous.  In the wild, geckos meet up only to fight or to mate, and both can end in serious injury or death.

If you'd like a second gecko, it is best to set up a second habitat for it.

Enjoy your new pet, and I hope this has been helpful.

Answer 3

I wouldn't risk it.  Your previous gecko is used to being alone and geckos are typically solitary animals anyway.  If you want to get another gecko and keep them housed separately, they might be able to get along outside of their tanks.

Answer 4

you never know, i sure wouldn't, but you could try it and if anything happens you will need to seperate them.

Answer 5

bad idea adults will eat the babys

Answer 6

No. They are solitary animals and should never be housed together unless they are being bred.
