Hey everybody just recently picked up a pair of crested geckos to live in the custom vivarium I built a while back when I used to have a chameleon. I was hoping to start a small breeding colony as a hobby and am looking for input as to how many crested I can happily and healthfully keep in my custom viv. I've read about others successfully keeping two female and a male in a 29gallon tank but since the dimensions are so different and vertical I don't know what a safe m/f ratio is. The viv is 10" deep about 18" wide in the back and about 10" wide in the front and 48" tall. I was hoping to do something like 1 or 2 males and 3 or 4 females but don't want any fighting.

2 males , no. I'd go 1.1 or 1.2

I agree with smy. If you have more than 1 male they will fight for dominance everywhere. Best to stick with a 1.1 or a 1.2

What about like 3 or 4 females with just one male? How could any male anything have a problem with that?
