keeping 2 males together

[MartinW]

Do hatchling males fight? If not until what age is it safe to keep them together?

Martin,

As long as both males are not sexually mature and around the same weight and age it shouldn't be a big deal to keep them together TEMPORARILY. However, it's best to separate them as soon as possible. If you have another tank, I would recommend that you raise them apart to avoid complications and stress. Good luck with the little guys!

well it all depends i have to male carrot tailed viper geckos intogether and they never fight because they cant compete over anything because there is no female in with them and they have a very big cage but i would not recomend keeping 2 males intogether because there is the chance they may fight but do not keep the 2 males intogether with a female because i can garentee you will have problems then o and hatchling males will not fight and you wont be able to tell if there males yet so it shouldnt matter i have kept male hatchlings together and never seen any problems

I've kept 2 males together up until the age of about 5 months old with no problems -- I wouldn't really keep them together any longer than that though. Once they start feeling their oats (which can happen at 6 months old or so) they may start fighting, and serious injuries can result.

vipertails Braydon are much like the pictus, and can be raised in a community tank. Leos should be house separately and if you do, separate no later than 4-5 months for stress reasons. If you house the babies together, make sure one isnt getting more than the other and if they do, separate immediately.
