AboutDiane Expertise I am well versed in all aspects of the care and keeping of green iguanas, leopard geckos and bearded dragons. This includes all husbandry issues pertaining to the above species. I am not a vet so I cannot answer medical questions. I research other reptiles and am able to give general information on other species of lizards. I prefer not to answer snake questions as that I have not researched them enough.
Experience I own 3 green iguanas, two of which are rescues. I own two leopard geckos, both rescues. I've had my reptiles for 7 years. I spend many hours researching the care of my reptiles to keep up to date on all information pertaining to keeping reptiles that I have. I own a yahoo group dedicated to raising healthy iguanas.

Question Hi, I have a Lepoard Gecko, And a Columbian Boa Constictor. They have been kept in the same cage with there preivious owner. I was wondering if this is a problem? They have been fine in the cage together for about 2 years with previous owner, but if this is causing them stress then I am going to get another cage for the gecko.
Also, How often should I feed my gecko?
Answer Its actually hard to believe that the boa has not yet made a meal of the gecko, but I am sure that if left together, it will happen. They both also have much different care requirements with humidity and temperatures, not to mention that lizards are meals for boas. In the best interest of both, separate them.
Leopard geckos should be fed daily or every other day.
