White lined and Golden

msubigdawg · 07-05-04, 02:48 PM

I have a white lined and golden gecko that I got from a friend at college. They didn't want them and since I love reptiles I took them. I am not a lizard person but I am taking care of these. I am more of a snake person. I have found the white lined as a pissy attitude and the golden likes to crap on me when I pick him up. I keep them together in a 20 gallon tank. I was wondering if anyone else has kept two geckos like this together. Mine seem to really like each other.

It is ALways recomended to seperate different species. This could be one of lifes exceptions, but I would keep them seperated just to keep better track of them.

I need to find someone woh will toss me reptiles!

White Line and Golden geckos are commonly kept together and bred together. You can continue to keep them together but it is not reccomended. The whiteline is a close relative of the tokay gecko, and these two species are normally fairly agressive. The golden gecko is pooping on you to deter you from picking it up. Let them acclimate for a bit, then start to work with them(handling wise). Good luck!

Yup, WLG and Goldies are fine together, I have 2 female White lines and 1 male goldie and they breed all the time. I currently have 4 eggs incubating from them and have hatched one so far.

I keep two houses and an anole together, I know that some dont like it, but the anole is usually green, and it is EXTREMELY difficult to find the geckos during the day, and at night while the anole is sleeping the houses come out to hunt. They dont bother each other at all, and everyone eats. heres a pic of their enclosure.

i keep my anole, house gecko,croc gecko and 2 grey tree frogs together.

Your geckos will be fine together.
