Question
hi. is it okay to house a leopard gecko with a fat tailed gecko? the fat tail is quite a bit larger than the leopard gecko.

Answer
 I always say that territorial lizards should each have their own enclosures, and even though they are both geckos, you are talking about animals that come from two different parts of the world.  Leos come from the Mideast, Western India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.  Fat tails come from Africa.  You don't mix them.
