 Getting a new gecko!

So i have had my leopard gecko for a little more then a year and shes about 7-8 inches long. I have her in a 24" 24" 18" tank.... So my question is i want to get another female leopard gecko and have her in the same tank together. But all i have around me(within 2hours) is a petco and all they sell is baby leopard gecko im pretty sure. Would it be possible to put a baby in with a bigger gecko ( 7-8 inches)....? Thanks!



And i have everything i need to hold 2 leopard geckos:)

I wouldn’t recommend it. Not only does the bigger Leo eat bigger crickets, but even if you put two different size crickets in there, the larger Leo will most likely eat them all anyway. The smaller Leo will be intimidated by the larger and the stress will cause him to not eat. Just not a good idea. You can grow her out somewhere else then once they reach fairly equal size, you can try introducing them...

Also, I’ve heard the larger one may eat the smaller one.

Also, there’s a small chance that the big one wouldn’t bully the little one. Besides, if the baby turns out to be male, he could mate with her and you also couldn’t house them together after that
