lepord gecko hatchlings

Question
"I have recently hatched a lepord gecko( tring to hatch another ) and I am wondering when I can put it in the cage with the parents?"


Answer
Hi Brandon-
If you were to put a small Leopard Gecko in with an adult-there is a very good chance that the adults/parents will try and eat it
The baby would most likely only be viewed as a food source

Most lizards have no parental care instincts-that is why babies/hatchlings are born ready to take care of themselves

If you do hatch out a female-you can try keeping her with her mother as soon as she reaches the same size/weight that the mother is
This could be 6 months to a year in time

Males should never be placed together in the same enclosure/tank

If you hatch out a male then it should be kept in it's own tank/enclosure

I hope that this helps
