    Question Adding an adult Crestie Okay?

    I have a Crested Gecko that's about 1 year old (maybe a little older) and I was curious as to whether or not adding a more mature and (somewhat) larger Crested Gecko would be too intrusive to the existing Gecko's territory.

    Thanks for any input!

    Keeping 2 males togeather is not going to work, females will normally be OK together but keep and eye on them the first few days to make sure theres no fighting.

    Yeah, a male would be a bad idea. Females seem to do fine together too. Mine do anyway.

    Yea more than 1 male they may get teritorial, females are usually, what might be a good idea is to rearange your aquarium before adding the new geckos so yours doesnt try and "Say this is my area"..than just watch when feeding for one eating everything and the other not eating at all..just sux it takes so long to find out if its male or female..from a baby anyway..

    Re: Adding an adult Crestie Okay?

    as long as they are both females and close in size it should be okay. clean the enclosure and move things around so any established territory will be removed and then put the two in together.

    most all females will get along but certain females of mine don't get along with certain others--they just won't stop chasing and biting at the one they don't like. that's not the norm though, it's just when you have that many geckos you are bound to find a few that don't get along.
