Im just wandering if its safe to keep 2 female leos togeather? Im thinking of getting 2 leos in the future but just want to make sure they are the next reptile i would like to keep. Also temprament wise are they ok being handled? And what sort of vivarium best suits them? eg lighting,substrate,temps etc. I wont be getting a new reptile for at least 6 months as im in the process of moving so i have plenty of time to study up on them. thanks in advance for any replies.

yeah you can keep two females together but not males.

Hey Shy,

Two females will be fine. You could have a male in with them, but more than one male will cause friction.

They can be handled, it takes a bit of time to gain their trust, and they can be a bit skitty at first, but stick with it. My geckos climb onto my hand when I put it in the viv andthen sit with me for ages.

They don't need UV as they are predominantly nocturnal. The general rule for viv size is 1 square foot per gecko, so at least 2 x 1 x 1 for two females, or 3 x 1 x 1 if u decide to put a male in with the girls! There's a great caresheet on Tony's website, www.purejurrasic.com Plus he has an available list on there that u may like to look at to give u an idea.

If u can get down to Brighton he's a great breeder and def worth visiting.

Good luck :2thumb:

Thanks Dragonsdady for all that information. Iv looked at the site and its great. And yes unfortanutaly im unable to get to Brighton. Ill look into Leos with more depth and hopefully get a pair of females in around 6 - 8 months depending on my finacial state. Thanks again.
