Frog eyed gecko compatibility

[kellymack515]

There is a frog eyed gecko that I've fallen in love with who may need to be adopted fairly soon. He's ornery and tries to bite just about everyone but me (hence why I love him). While I say "him" I'm not sure as to his gender. He's not used to being handled, so I don't want to stress him out too much. He's gorgeous and I'd love to have him.

My questions are:
1. How do you tell gender? It is the same/similar as sexing on leopard geckos?
2. Can a frog eyed gecko be housed with leopard geckos? I have three 6" female leopards in a 20 long tank (which I will soon be upgrading to a 55). The frog eye is about 4".

Im not much of a gecko person but rule of thumb is not to house any reptiles together..

It can be done but its harder than to just keep them seperated; I am sure leopards have been housed together succesfully before, but I wouldn't.

But for sure dont house two different species together...

I wouldn't put it with your leopards just because I'm very paranoid about passing diseases...whenever you get a new animal you should ALWAYS quarantine it from the rest of your collection for at least a month or two. (and I mean especially not putting them in the same tank, AND not even the same room!)

But I agree with Luker...dont put them together: in fact,, I wouldn't even keep the leo's together either. I did that at one point and they ended up getting very territorial.

I'm not saying it's going to happen to yours I'm only saying that it CAN happen. Getting a larger tank will make territorial issues less relevant but they can still arise. Do whatever you think is best for your Leos. I know that territorial issues are more intense in males than females but you can never rule anything out when it comes to reptiles.

Dont house them together, also they are known to hve an attitude.

Gender is from pores.
