Crested geckos are able, though not always willing, to adapt with gargoyle geckos. Though these two species are native to the same region, they are not found on the same islands within Caledonia. The gargoyle geckos are a much more territorial and aggressive species. They are also more robust and typically weigh more than a crested and even in same specie enclosures animals cannot be too much bigger than the other.

Day gecko species are native to hot/humid area's such as: Round Island, Madagascar, Mauritius and other southernly Indian Islands. The crested gecko is native to New Caledonia. These two animals require completely different care and come from different parts of the world. Therefore they could not be housed together in the same terrarium.

The Crested gecko (Rhacodactylus Cilatus) is a solitary gecko. Like most reptiles, the crested gecko will only interact with one of the same species when it's breeding season. Breeding Season takes place during the warmer months of their natural environment in New Caledonia. Throughout the winter months these animals go through a resting period, where even females do not communicate often with one another.

As stated earlier, cresties come from a group of islands called "New Caledonia" along the east coast of Australia. Any reptile cannot be housed with a species of a different environment. There would be too many different living conditions to sustain two or more different species. Example: Humidity, temperature, substrates diet etc...

Animals of the same regions can (with exceptions: size of tank, enough food to sustain multiple diets, multiple hiding spots etc..) be housed together. Even in the case of two species being together, they must be monitored, and should only be done by intermediate - expert reptile keepers

in this case crested geckos and leopard geckos are not from the same region.

no crested geckos can not live with any other species of animal... the crested gecko will kill and probably eat the other animal

they are two different species so no! Only have long tail lizards or crested geckos with their own species (can be different morphs) in a decent size tank and only 1 male if any!

Gargoyle Geckos tend to be more agressive than crested geckos and there has been cases where a male Gargoyle gecko will attack or even eat another species.

Do leopard geckos HAVE to eat live food?

No. People feed leopard geckos "pinkies" for various reasons. To boost nutrition during a geckos pregnancy. To give a gecko a large feeding so as to not have to feed it for a week (this works well if you want to take a vacation). Some people just think it's entertaining. A Leopard Gecko does not "need" to eat baby mice. Crickets will do.
