 Adding another gecko with older female???

I have had Millie nearly 9 years now, and I am wondering if getting a younger female to put in with her would be okay, the one I plan on buying is (estimate) a year old, and near, if not full size. Do you think it would be ok, after quarantine, to put the younger female in with her???

Well I never suggest having more than one gecko in a tank unless breeding. I have had two females fight, almost to the death. They were fine togather for a long time, until a random fight happened. I dont think its safe

It really depends on the personalities of the two females. Mine are in the same tank, but when I got them, they were already sharing space so they were use to each other. If you do decide to put them in the same tank, make sure it’s a big one, 20 gallon or larger, so they have their own space, hide spots. Also, make sure you moniter them closely and make sure they’re both eating and pooping well.

I dont think its unsafe to put females together with right conditions. I keep my leos in breeding groups. Just make sur there is PLENTY of worms in their tray and plenty of hides. Count poops and make sure all leos are eating and Im sure they are ok. Leos arent aggressive animals and will most of the time tolerate others. As long as there isnt a big size difference, Im gonna say it should be ok but keep an eye on them. Goodluck
