i think it would be fine

as long as they are both female and you are willing to seperate if they show signs of aggression

i think 10g per gecko is fine as long as you have at least a 20g so they have more room to jump around

Personally, I think it’s a tad small. Generally a 20 gallon tank is good for 1 gecko, so adding just 5 gallons for a second seems a bit tight. For 2, you should have at least a 30 gallon tank so that they do have some room to get away from each other. Heck, sometimes it isn’t even all peaches and cream when having 5 in a 125 gallon viv. tank.

Make sure, no matter what the size, you have plenty of hiding spots and you put out several food dishes.

Yeah, I don’t want to push it. I could always house 2 in the 18x18x18, and then be ready to seperate them if needed. But if they do fine together, I can still upgrade later to an 18x18x24 or larger.
