My son and I got 2 leopard geckos, one male and one female. I read that there should be at least 2 females to 1 male, but my husband doesn't want another gecko. We love them both, and don't want to take either one back to the store. Do you think they'll be all right?

 

Optional Information:
Age: <1; Female; Breed: leopard geckos

Already Tried:
both together with several hide spots

The reason that there should be a 2 to 1 ratio is so the male does not "over sex" the female. They should be ok, just keep a close eye on them. If he is too...well....over active with her, consider getting a second tank or even a tank divider, which can be purchased at your local pet superstore. So, you can definately keep both of them either way :) Good luck
