I have a large Arboreal Vision Tank and because I have no room for these guys.....they've sort of grown up together..... Shocked
I knew from the beginning the dangers of housing males together, however this was a necessity for me and I have been extremely vigilant of them....
no harrassment going on, no marks, and good weight gain for both.....they are "best friends" -
 Cheesy
I have however provided double the amount of hiding places I would have normally used and have several feeding stations throughout the tank....this has undoubtedly helped.

Anyway...I think the contrast in colors on these harleys is nice.
Hope you like.

I know of people who keep multiple males together with no consequences. I think he did everything right, I've heard it's almost a non issue without any females in the tank. Even with females, the rhac book says as long as they're in a big enough enclosure there's no problem. Says there's a good chance they'll lose their tails, but that's natural. Really sweet geckos, I think having them next to eachother brings out the best of both of them.

When I purchased these males, seperately, they had there own cages. ?With time, I changed direction in projects and I had opportunities to purchase females that I simply could not pass up, then I was short of tanks. ?Had there been an issue....I would have gone out the same day (immediately) and purchased additional housing....even though I have no room. ?These guys have also been on sale for some time with no takers.

Everyone else: thanks for the kind words!
I shot these pics and they came out nicer than I thought.

Had they ever been introduced to females prior to being housed together?

Studly males.

It's discouraging, but cresteds just don't sell like they used to.? I think your asking price is more than reasonable so just try to be patient.? ?
