    mixing Leopard Gecko n Ball Pythons
    i have a leopard gecko collection... and a Ball Python Collection starting up...
    is it ok? to put them in one area (about 6metersx4meters)..? or do i have to put them in seperate rooms?..

    When I still had leopard geckos I had them right next to each other. Never had a problem.

    yup it is just fine to house them in the same room. I don't know much about the possibility of lizard to snake illness transfer, but I'd always QT any new reptiles from all my other reptiles, not just the same species.

    I know a few people that keep them in the same room, I want to get me a Leo Gecko. It's hard to find a raptor with 100% red eyes though.

    I find it wierd that theres a lot of bp owners who also own Leo Geckos. I wonder about that. I also own a leopard gecko and he goes crazy attack mode when he sees the BP, but this was before I painted their sides black...

    Same room and even in the same rack. There tempature needs aren't to much different plus I only have one BP for now, so it works.

    Same room, and I QT any new animals in a seperate room away from the others. Never had a problem; althought my BP escaped one night and I was terrified I was gonna find him in the leopard gecko cage (because of the heat and the possible meal); but he was just cruising underneath my bed :please:
