I was just wondering if you can keep leopard geckos and fattailed geckos togather? I have heard you can if there is only one male, and I have heard that you can't??

Geckos, like the ones you are speaking of, are solitary by nature.
I myself, would lean towards not keeping them together. Two completely different species. You may be asking for trouble..
Peace,

Not a good idea. Mixing species is never a good idea not to mention fat tails need a good deal more moisture than leopards do.

:cool: Even though fattails and leos are simalur in care and caging requierments the fattails do need more humidity in there cage and leos are more dryer.. I would not recomend that you keep them together, As for how many per cage depending on cage size you can keep pairs or one male to several females per cage..like 1 male leo with 2 or more female leos, 1 male fattail to 1 or more female fattails.. Never keep males together as they will fight and one could kill the other or tails be droped or skin slough off..
