I bought my geckos today and i was wondering if i bought 2 4 1/2 month olds and a 1 year old could they stay in the same aquarim? :medcoolgu

Not a chance. You have to separate them - the bigger one will at least bug the younger ones if not try to munch on them. Also, you have to keep mature males separate from younger females until the females are mature enough to breed.

I did put them together for the day because all i have is one Aquarium. So far they are getting alone good. The female is the oldest one. The other two r the same age. Do u think i need to still put them in different places when they are getting along ok???

Yes you need to separate them. The larger gecko could attack the smaller ones and cause missing toes and or tails!

I keep a very close eye on them and of the days that i have had them i see have had no problems. They get a long real well and in fact they also like to cuddle up together in there log. I have watched them closer and closer every day and i sometimes just sit in there and watch them. I have picked them up and made sure they still had all toes there tails are still there and i have not seen any ripped skin at all. They littles also let me hold them while the big one is a little tense. Therefore it is very easy to see if the little ones are hurt cause they hug my finger when i pick them up then they like to climb up and down my hand. And also the big one is doing fine. There is no ripps or anything like that wrong with her either. All toes and there and her tail.

There may be nothing now... but what happens when you go to sleep one night? They are noctural so they are most active at night. It's just better to be safe than sorry!
