Question
Hi there!
I am a current owner of five leopard geckos, and about an hour ago, I found my cat mauling a Texas Spiny Lizard. I gave her a shot of antibiotics and she is now soaking herself in a small dish of water. I am wondering if I can keep her, While she recovers, In my Leopard Geckos Tank (55 gallon). I can't keep her in what she is in now, a small bug box, and I don't have anything else.

Ok, Thank you!

Answer
Evidently my original message never got sent.  Anyway, no I wouldn't put the spiny in with the Leo's the spiny may have parasites and its not worth the risk.  Kudos for saving it but it would be best to just release it back into the wild and hope for the best.
