    Just curious...

    Has anyone had any experience housing different rhacs together? Say, a crested and a chahoua? I know that two males would be very unhappy, but what about 2 females?

    Just curious...

    From what i read Crested geckos require slightly lower temperature (by2f i think),besides it is never really a good idea too keep two lizards of different species in the same enclosure.I never tried the pair nor have i heard of it ,but it is prob not a good idea.

    The size difference is a bad idea. If they are the same size, yeah they'd be just fine.

    I've never done it, but I recall something either by allen repashy or philippe de vosjoli mentioning about successfully housing young rhacs of two different species but similar size together without problems.

    I currently house all of my crested geckos singly, even though the females get along. It's just so much easier to monitor eating habits.

    Mkay - thanks for the .02$!

    Is there really that much of a size discrepancy between the two species? I have never seen a chaoua in person...

    Yeah... I have seen those. I really don't want to get into the whole hybrid thing. It is a very hot-button topic (and frankly, I don't agree with the practice. >.<)
