I've had my Leopard Gecko for about 6 months, and he's gotten so big. I'm possibly getting another Leopard Gecko for Christmas (separate tanks) and I'm really excited! I was wondering if anyone knew the morph of Merlin, or a guess at the morph? I figured he's just a yellow jungle leo, but he has some different colors on his tail.

I have a Bearded Dragon named Flash! He was a school pet but I got to take him home and be his new owner!

Here he is!

My lizard's name is Merlin too! It's such a cool name! (He's a blue lounged skink though so a little bit different )

How many square feet is recommended for 2 leopard geckos? I plan on making a custom background/decor in a 20 long, with 2 levels, basically making the entire tank around 4-5 square feet. I already have 1 6 year old gecko, very friendly, always sleeping, hand fed. I believe its a female. Could I get a second, if I let it grow out in a smaller tank and introduce it to my gecko slowly?

It's really not recommended, as there's no point in taking the risk that they will fight. Whether or not they do it immediately or years down the road. Especially if you'd have a second tank set up anyway

I agree with control. They are solitary animals and only view each other as competition. Any "cuddling" or sleeping together on the same spot is them trying to show dominance over the other. I also wouldn't want to risk the health of my leo or the health of another. They could seem fine one day but you never know when they will snap at each other.

can two female leos be kept together? one of my friends has two girls in a tank and I told her I don't think they should be together but would ask first.

I would not recommend keeping two leopard geckos together.

No, regardless of if they're male or female they shouldn't be kept together. They are solitary animals and only view each other as competition. Please read my previous post above :)
