My crazy mind randomly made me think: Are leopard geckos like bearded dragons? Can they not be housed together? Me and my silly questions, :roll:

so... Can they? :p I guess that females cant be housed with males unless they are breeders, but... :?:

They're not social creatures, but you can house them together.
As long as it's 2 females, and not 2 males.
And you can have a male in there, with 2 other females, if you ever do plan to breed :p
But yeah, 2 females usually get on fine.

Thank you! I was just wondering. :)

i believe 2 females can be housed together as long as they are both around the same size and the viv/tank is big enough.

you cant house 2 males together as they will fight and possibly kill each other

you can house a male with multiple females but only if you are planning on breeding them

It's *generally* recommended to house them alone as they will compete for resources. You can house females together if you use a big enough cage but it's not necessarily the best thing for them, for much the same reasons as it's not good to house beardies together.

Just like anything else.. make sure you have a hide for each lizard. Also.. sex does not trump everything. I have seen two males live together fine.. and I have had one female try to rip another females neck off. Needless to say I returned one female the same day. I have never actually housed two males together myself.. but I have seen the pair live together fine for well over a year.. and they full grown adults. All that said.. my female was much larger than my male.. simply because she catches crickets faster.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
