Caging Male and Female Leopard Geckos in One Tank
Make sure your cage is big enough. The website Leopardgeckocare.net recommends using the following equation to measure tank size: The minimum size of the tank should be equal to the number of geckos to be held there, plus one, times 10 gallons
Don̵7;t house more than one male with the females. While several females and a male is a fine setup, more than one male in a single cage is trouble. Males are territorial and will fight each other to the death.
Ensure that the geckos are roughly the same size. Males are generally bigger, and that is usually fine. But if one (or more) geckos is significantly larger than others, the bigger one might bully the others for food.
Keep an eye on the female geckos to ensure that they aren̵7;t being dominated by the sex-hungry males. Leopard geckos have a very active sex drive, and females can become exhausted if the males overdo it.
Be prepared for more geckos. Housing males and females in the same tank means that there is a very good chance that they will reproduce.
How to Cage a Male & Female Leopard Gecko in One Tank
One of the reasons that leopard geckos are popular as pets is that they are relatively docile animals that are easy to keep and breed. A male and multiple females can be kept in one tank, and this setup is actually advantageous if you want them to breed. However, if you are housing male and female geckos in the same tank, there are some things you need to do to ensure that the gecko̵7;s environment is healthy and safe.
