Carmen and Camille Cohabitating?

I was wondering when it would be ok to try putting my female geckos together? I've had Carmen for about three months and she seems to be doing very well although she is a tad thin and needs to be hand-fed worms. I think she's slightly bigger than Camille although not as plump. Would this be an issue since I hand feed her the worm portion of her diet? What size tank should they be in? How will I know if they're not getting along? If you want to judge thier sizes for yourself you can see them here:

Double Trouble

Carmen is between Duke and Camille in size since that isn't a good pic for scale. Carmen seems to have a husky bone structure like Duke whereas Camille is more "dainty".

I dont know if it would be smart even with the very small size difference, as an example my 2 Leopard Geckos Pebbles and Autumn were living together originally (i think u know the story) even with only a 1/4 inch difference in size Pebbles was still the dominant one.

If you decide to put them together I would recommend a 20 gallon long tank as a minimum.

I wish you luck

I have two female Leopard Geckos of different sizes and recently tried housing them in a 20 gallon long. Well, they didn't fight but I noticed after a few days that the smaller one hid a lot and didn't get as much food as the larger one did. Also there were signs of stress coming from the smaller one. Hope my info helps.

Thats exactly what happened with my Leopard Geckos. I have since seperated them and they are doing very well now.
