exactly. thats like saying "would a person with brown eyes get along with a person with blue eyes?". it doesnt effect anything.
I was just wondering,oh well good to hear i cant go wrong bout which morph i pick to go along with my leo
It really doesn't make a difference, but I'm sure that the leos recognize that appearences aren't the same. I used to keep a colony of leos of all different kinds, and I noticed the albino and 'leucistic' patternless got along better, and interacted with each other more than with the normals.
Just recently I had to separate out a patternless female from two normal (Hi-Yellow) females. The two normals (Freckles and Candy) prefer each other to the patternless female, to such a degree that I wondered if they intentionally avoided her. There is no fighting or competition noticed. I'm still perplexed, but the patternless is doing much better and seems more comfortable in her own enclosure. I hope to reintroduce her in a few months and see if the same behaviour is noticed.
The only reason I can think of, in a gecko's mind, that may contribute to this behaviour may be that they, in the wild, would be more likely to survive a predatorial attack if they all looked similar (the 'zebra effect'). And, I might want to add, that in such an attack, a wild patternless gecko is far more likely to fall victim to a predator, for the lack of camouflage. (One reason it would extremely rare to see this morph, or a similar one, such as an albino, in the wild).
I'm extreme in my thinking, I know, but I hope you enjoyed it! =)

If anything, they would rather be alone..... All of my geckos are kept by them selves unless I am breeding..... The tend to stay healthy, grow faster and keep better, brighter coloration when kept alone.....

Probaly not rue but you never know...
If a leopard is anything like a human........A normal human would probaly make fun of a albino human(I wouldn't make fun but...........it happens)
If you put in a normal leopard with a albino the normal could make fun of the albino, but if two albinos were together, one albino wouldn't be saying.......hahaha your an albino, cause then the other could say the same thing.
And no, I'm not on drugs:D
