Hey everybody! Has been a while since I've been here. Hope everyone is well. George has essentially grown into a perfect Chameleon, and I've decided to... "Expand" my hobby and get a Giant Day Gecko. I actually want to go into breeding them, however.
Today, I bought a young'n from a good pet store. He/she (Too young to sex, apparently) was one of 3 in the store. I picked him/her because it generally seemed the healthiest of the bunch. I know the breeder that they get the P.Grandis off loosely, so I'm pleased with my purchase, it's a really nice pet store too.
Anyway, like I said, I want to go into breeding them. I know that the 3 in the store were from the same brood, and wanted to avoid breeding them in that circumstance - However, my worry now is that the Gecko won't take to a new room-mate, and I'm not sure how to go about introducing a newbie. Should I be trying to find one before my current one gets too settled in to avoid territorial behaviour? Part of me thinks I should have just bought two, but again, wanted to avoid two of the same brood.
If need be, I'll stick with the one.
Here's the little fella himself, being a little less shy and sitting in front of me.

And here's George my blue bar ambilobe for anybody wondering how he's doing!
