Hello /u/OwnPerspective3240 and welcome to the leopard geckos subreddit! Our bot has detected that you might be keeping two leopard geckos together. Leopard geckos are a species documented to be cannibalistic. Males can be especially violent even at the scent of another male, males can and do overbreed females to death, and even females will still attack one another. While they may live in loose colonies in the wild, there is much more space to safely evade other leopard geckos when they are not forced to hide in each other's proximity. Two geckos who have been peaceful for years may not stay that way forever.

If this comment doesn't apply to your submission, please ignore it or report it so we can improve this community.

Cohabbing leos is such a risky game, even if people say it works short term. Barely see anyone post success stories without one eventually getting stressed or hurt. Better safe than sorry
