I swore I would stop getting more reptiles but I couldn't shake my obsession with Skunk Geckos!
Needless to say I caved at the pet store.
Question............can I house her with my Iguana?????
Tank wise this would be optimal for me but I'm concerned with mixing species, although they do require the same environment.
What to do........anyone?????
Love, Guinevere

NO Please dont house them together....your iguana may make lunch out of her....Please house her seperately.....You are correct to be concerned and even if they share the same environment requirements....the gecko eats crickets and you dont want your iguana eating crickets...at all...soooo good luck getting a cage together for your new little one....post some pics...I will have to google up a pic to see what they look like....Lyn

I highly recommend not mixing species, more so being you just got the gecko and it needs to be quarantined so as not to spread anything it might have to your Iggy.

Yep...........I knew it was a horrible idea.
Thanks guys.....
Oh, you gotta check them out!!!!!! They're totalley HOT!!!!!!!
O.k. what about housing with a Leopard Gecko or a Crested?????
I know, I know but I'll still ask.

I just did some research and this looks like a NO GO!
What I've gathered is to NEVER mix species.
God, my home = tanks. I have no room for any of my personal items.
All my figurines, statues, ect. are in storage but it's the life I chose so I can't complain. In the end all my little creatures are more than worth it. What they give to me is beyond what words can describe!!!!!!!

Peace,
Guinevere
P.S. I can't wait to post pics! Soon........
She's mesmerizing!!!!!

What I'd 'want' to do in that situation is buy a bigger house...oh yeah, that's what I'm trying to do right now.

Yeah they all have to be seperate.
