Some geckos do and some geckos don't- it depends on the temperature that they were born with. If they were born at a hot temperature, they will be a hot female which means that they are very aggressive and won't like that much company. Male geckos usually want a companion with them, but sometimes, they will get tired of their companion and want their space back. Then, they will just keep wanting another female gecko again and again...ugh, men!

Absolutely. Like most reptiles, leopard geckos are solitary animals. When they meet other leopard geckos, only two things may happen--breeding (only if conditions are right), or a contest for dominance and territory. A gecko all by itself with a territory it doesn't have to share with a rival is a VERY happy leopard gecko.

And of course, they don't like people. They can get used to us, but they never actually LIKE us.

That's a very hard question. It depends on the person it is. If the person mistreats the animal, it will hide or hiss(more of a quick, hacking sound). If the person treats the gecko correctly, yes, it will enjoy the company o that person. Normally, leopard geckos are used to one and only one person, though sometimes they are used to two, or even three different people.

Yes, doesn't matter if you have another gecko in the cage or not they need air so pick them up out of the cage at least 2-4 times a week. You will know when they want out when they look like they are trying to climb the glass.

Most gecko species are solitary animals. They only encounter the opposite sex during breeding season. During the breeding season, Some female gecko species will roost together. Once the eggs have been deposited, they will then venture on their own again.

Leopard geckos are solitary creatures and do not need to be housed with another gecko of any sort. In the wild, when breeding season occurs, a male will seek out a mate. Once copulation has occurred, the male will carry on until the next mate. When the female is ready to lay eggs, the geckos are left to fend for them selves when they hatch. From the day of their birth, until the end of their life, geckos are on their own. Their are some gecko species that travel in somewhat of a colony during breeding season. In these cases, females will usually huddle together until the eggs have been deposited. In some species of day gecko, females will travel in pairs of 2 throughout the year. Some species of Rhacodactylus will choose a mate and keep with that mate for life. If that mate passes, they have been known to refuse another. Again though, typically a gecko is solitary and do not require a tank mate.

Most geckos like most reptiles, are solitary animals and only encounter one of the same species during mating season.
