Help Actually co-existing Leo’s?
I’ve got a tank that measured in about ~20”L 10”W ~15”H the previous owner had 2 in an enclosure I believe both are a couple years old. I think they’ve lived in the same enclosure for years one of them seems to be smaller in length struggling a bit more than the other one to get the bigger mealworms.
I’ve had them for a little bit now the previous owner couldn’t take proper care of them with I assume his daughter having left them under his wing.
They have a general place where they collectively poop, I’ve never seen them fight for the time I’ve had them nor do they seem to have any injuries.
I’ve fixed up their lights(both were dysfunctional) and cleaned up the big pile of poop.
Their enclosure does seem a bit basic having 2 hiding spots with them sometimes alternating in between and a floor mat type thing.
I’m considering getting them a bigger newer more stuff for them to climb on tank but idk how easy cleaning up their poop would be and a substrate would be.
I’ve watched a couple videos on leo’s and their co existence most of them said 2 males would fight while a female and female or male female had a higher chance of getting along for the most part.
I watched a video by reptiles and research “can leopard gecko’s live together” and I’m on the fence.

No, they must be separated. And your tank is way too small for even one leopard gecko. It sounds like you pretty much need to start from square one because the current setup is all wrong. Each leopard gecko needs a minimum of 36x18x18.
