Different morphs are fine to keep together. When you do get another, it needds to be quarantined for at least 30 days before you put it with the other one.

To make sure it doesnt have any parasites, infections or diseases that could be spread to your current leo.

Re: i want another leo

For the night viewing, I have a blue moon bulb that turns on at night when my day bulb goes out. Its 40 watt so it also helps keep the temps up.

GLS 25W BC blue - Lightbulbs Direct - Your source for buying domestic light bulbs!

Would that work? its less wattage so it simulates the temp drop and will go to about 75?

Nope! The bulb you linked to is just a colored light.
What you will need is a reptile specific moonlight bulb.
If it puts out too much light the bulb will disturb the leo.

And if you end up with two males they will fight!

Re: i want another leo

Also note - if you end up with a boy and a girl, you may end up with more Leopard Geckos!

Or if you end up with one being much bigger than the other, there is a chance of bullying...
