Re: Cage 2 female together
I agree with Deborah, you should probably have a bigger tank for two.
Additionally, females can get along, especially if they are brought up together, but not always.
I had 3 females, who grew up together, in a 4X2' for years. There were occasional spats, but nothing major.
Then, after 4 years together, one of the females began getting very aggressive towards the other two, one in particular.
I was upgrading my tanks anyway, so when I got a 5 stack of Boaphile 6X2' tanks, I put a divider in one making two 3X2' tanks for the Geckos. The trouble maker is on her own in one and the other two get along fine on the other side.
The point is, they are solitary animals. It can work fine, or it can be really dangerous. It all depends on the situation and the geckos in question.
Also, they absolutely must be sexed correctly and females. Males kill each other and males and females can mean trouble, and eggs.
Re: Cage 2 female together
I house my females together and they all get along fine you just have to keep an eye on them and make sure that you don’t see any fresh scrapes. I have 6 Leo’s in total 5 females and 1 male. Obviously my male is seperat from the females and one of my females is quite large so she’s housed by herself as well but my other 4 females live 2 to an enclosure and get along well. I make sure to have 2 food dishes and 2 water dishes in each English restaurant tho so that if one is being territorial about food there is always another dish. I mean the best way to do it is just keep a close eye on them and if there’s any sign of trouble out something in the tank to split them up until you can get another tank to separate them. -Sam

Those are the measurements of the top of the container.
The bottom of the container, the actual floor space, is 19.875" x 13.625" x 5.250".
The 20"L by 14"W by 12"H tank is actually bigger than the 28 quart tub.
