Well I have been debating on whether or not to put my male and female leopard gecko together...at the place they used to live at, they lived together but with a few more females....i dont have the luxury of having another female their size...so anyways, i put them together, knowing that the male might harrass her and if that would happen i would take him out...but here is my question.....Since none of them seem to mind eachother and they just lay down all day near eachother, is it safe to say that its okay to keep them together?

As long as you don't see any fighting it should be fine. One of the reasons to put another female in is so one female is not burdened with laying eggs all the time. That can be stressful for a female particularly if she doesn't get enough to eat in between gravid periods. Leos can retain sperm so extra females don't always solve the problem but they can. You male and female might not even breed. My advice is just be prepared to separate them if you feel either of their health is compromised. Otherwise good luck to you. My male and female hated each other when I put them together.

they dont mind eachother at all...but no breeding is taking place...as long as they arent fighting im happy..i do have another male and female leos but the female is not big enough to join the group and i already know NOT to put another male in with the group lol..maybe i will start 2 groups!
