I got a gecko a couple of weeks ago and its doin fine and everything but i cant tell what sex it is because it is to young. Yesterday i got another gecko and the two arnt fighting or anything my original gecko is acting kind of strange although it is getting a little better. They wont really go near each other they just stay away from each other. should i be worried that they r 2 males but i havent seen them fighting or anything is there much in the way of behavial differences between the two. one really likes to dig??? i dont know. i do know that they r nocturnal and r active at night but they dont fight at night cause i have a vid. cam feeding into comp. so they dont fight. but i am still worried. any advice please help

Generally leopard geckoes are solitary. I t sounds to me like they are just getting used to each other. Sex is hard to tell before they are adults, but it is possible they are male and female. Give it a little time to tell if they will get along or not. But if they havn't killed each other yet chances are they won't. Also you can pick up a book on geckoes done by Barrons which usually cost about 10 bucks and can answer any questions from caging and sexing to husbandry. A good investment if you ask me. I have a Barrons book for just about every type of reptile i have.

I wouldn't get rid of the second one, but I would set up another habitat for it. They aren't social animals. If they were from the same family and had been adopted together, they might be okay. That really isn't guaranteed either, though. Your best bet is to separate them, because as they mature and get bigger, they can injure each other badly enough that you might end up with no geckos...
Good Luck

My gecko Logan did no longer consume for 2 weeks yet he became over weight and that i had my vet watching him. Are you occurring a airplane or driving on your loved ones? i could be apprehensive approximately leaving Spit fireplace there yet vacationing might desire to stress her out extra. individually if I the place you i might carry spit fireplace with me. Edit If its in elementary terms a 30 or so force you could take her devoid of stressing her out too lots. you may take her. My geckos vet is a few hour faraway from our residing house.

I've seen leopards live happily in colonies, but only if it's 1 male to a bunch of females. I would separate the two until you can verify the sex of both. Put them in separate tanks until then, and make sure both of them have proper heat, water, food, and somewhere to hide!! Reptiles get nervous if they can't hide.
If they turn out to be male and female, or two females, you can reintroduce them. Just make sure you have enough hiding spots in the tank for both of them to escape.

agree wit alyssa. they can be together . try putting more hiding places so that they are not stressed, maybe it alone will help without the need to separate them. but if they are both male it cant be helped.

Since they aren't very social animals I suggest getting rid of the second one, it's not worth it.
