hi all,

this is my first time here, i'm impressed by all the info on these forums. thats why i joined up here. this forum ownz.
i'm from netherlands btw.

here's a question.
i want to add another species of lizzard (gecko or else) to my terra.

currently there is just one striped cape gecko (lygodactylus picturatus) in it my terra

also if i decide to put another striped cape in, do the male's kill each other? (how can i see what gender it is?)


what do you people suggest ?

With most species of gecko you should never put two males together, but you could add a few more females. You should never have "mixed" terras. Each reptile has it's own needs, natural bacterias and so on. By combining species you are more likely to experience sickness, disease and quite often deaths. Hope this helps! And welcome to the site:D
