How to add another Leo?

[Moose1960]

WHEN I decide (or my wife lets me...lol) to get another leo. Is there any thing special to do before adding to the one we have? Do they need to be introduced first with a separation or can they be placed in the same tank straight away?

well, you could add a few more hides and introduce them during the evening. watch them interact and if their isnt fighting it should be ok .. just moniter them closely. also dont forget to quarenteen (sp?) the new lizard for a while first

Now i understand quarentining (sp?) with my fish so as not to bring in diseases and such. Is this the same reason for herps? No matter what age or how long they have been in a store?

They should be roughly the same size (make sure they are not 2 males) and most important alway's is to quarintine your new leo 1 to 3 months to make sure your new leo does not have parasites that could get your current leo sick.
