  1. Dont mix species


  2. first of all they need completly differnent set-up and more importantly  u should NEVER mix species

    ok here's reasons u shouldn't mix

    common problems inculde

    Eating each other (its suprising what will at least try to eat what)

    Attacking/ killing each other (2 animals that dont normally live together will sometimes fight.

    stress (makes for ill reptiles just being near even a species from the same geological range can be stressful to these animals)(this is very noticeable in snakes but affects all other types of reptile and amphibian)

    Incompatible toxins bacteria and illnesses (especially with phibs but is common with others 2 just cause one species can handle one type of bacteria/doesn't mean they all can these animals evolved in totally different ways meaning there resistant to different things, as for toxins many phibs and invert have these as defense mechanisms and can easily kill or make the others ill)

  3. No. Leopard geckos are from dry areas and need very low humidity while house geckos are from more tropical areas and need humidity.

    The leopard gecko might also get aggressive towards the house gecko because its smaller.
