I have 1 gecko and he is all alone. i would like to get another gecko, but I have read that some geckos fight if they are together. i don't really want to get a female because i dont want them to mate. So I would like to get a male. But I dont know what kind I should get. Mine is a leopard gecko.

You can't put 2 male leopard geckos in the same tank. They will fight. You could put a female in with the male. If you do get a second gecko make sure that it is the same size as the one you already have.

the user-friendly leopard gecko care is you pick a 10 gallon tank for one lizard so in case you acquire 2 that's stated which you get a 20 gallon tank. so some distance as i comprehend there is not any thank you to tell the gender till there totally grown. Leopard geckos take a protracted time to advance, my leopard gecko is fairly much 2 and has finally stoped becoming. As for bedding you get sand yet i opt to advise sand with calcium in case they eat it. You feed leopard geckos crickets you may feed them meal worms yet they're very fatting. only understand that leopard geckos are reptiles so in maximum situations they do no longer thoroughly bond to human beings. Leopard geckos are extraordinary pets yet they are able to fee plenty for the reason which you in general look going to the puppy shop to get crickets.

yes you can keep gecko's in the same tank, Just be sure if you get two different types that they use the same sort of soil.
I had a leopard gecko and we were using sand, Well the gecko got some in his stomach and died do to constipation.

No to the male. Male leos will fight (sometimes to the death) if kept together. Are you sure that your gecko is a male? If you're not sure, get it sexed and if it turns out to be a female you can get another female or two to keep it company.
But don't keep males together

I don't know much about geckos. But I do know that my brother has several geckos in the same cage, and they do just fine together.

We used to keep geckos, We had The Tokay, Golden and leopard all together in the same tank...no problems...Except when the Tokay liked to bite me on occasion...they don't like to let go...Have you ever had a Tokay attached to your finger...? It was actually rather funny...
