Two males would also kill each other. You cannot take out and handle golden geckos as if you grab them too tightly their skin can rip and they will go out of their way to escape or defend. They can and will bite hard if pushed to it. They will also defecate on you as a defense mechanism. And they are far from ’light on the pocket’ due to upkeep, tank accessories, and vet. Golden geckos are a display species that stresses easily, so if you are going to get one to handle it and throw a few in together in a tank far too small for even one, then you are looking into the wrong type of gecko.
Simply try another leopard gecko. Do some research on what to look for in stores and what questions to ask the store employee before purchase. Ask the leopard gecko forum questions when you need to know the answers and study on proper care of any species you think you want to get.
If all you want to do is get a gecko for breeding, handling, and you have ’cost in mind’, then you really should not get one at all right now. Especially if you intend to put ’breeding’ and ’cheap’ together, as that will absolutely never happen. Instead, do research and think hard if this is really the right pet for you.

i do not recommend getting these geckos, they are not cheap, the tank your suggesting is WAY to small ex-specially for geckos as territorial as ggs. maybe you should do some more research, good luck with your decision

i currently have 2 goldies (pam and jim) and i can tell you that if you want to be able to handle your pets then these are not for you. try with leopard geckos again, or crested geckos, of course this is if you only want geckos. bearded dragons are wonderful pets as well, though not always cheap,
