Well two of my new plants arrived today,am still waiting on another but i figured i'd move them over now and add the new plant when it comes as i'm so impatient,lol,so its a little naked on one side for now,anyway here's the new set up for my babies,i hope they settle in ok,they look lost in it,lmao!!

Question is how likely is it if i end up with two males that they will get along? These are my only geckos so no females about.
And i'm guessing that if i end up with one of each sex i'll have to split them as they're related?

That is a very cool setup Gina, and it can only get better with the new plants too. I have heard stories of people raising 2 cresties together like yourself and then they both turn out male and they get along BUT those might just be one-off stories and it could be quite dangerous. If it were me I would want to seperate because then you could get females for them Cool

If you ended up with one of each sex then then I can't really comment on what I think you should do as I have never really been faced with that because I bought my male first and then my female later on. Scott might be along later to give more info on that for you - I think he goes by the opinion that they just won't breed if they aren't ready.
And if you get 2 females, well you would be stupidly lucky Laughing

and they can live together just fine.

I think I need a nap now Cool

lol cheers hun,i actually used to own the parents to these two,i bought the male from a shop,he was looney,my old mate had him from me,then a little later my other half bought me two babies...both turned out to be female,when i parted with most of my collection the same person had those from me and put them in with my old male..these are two of the babies from them...fingers crossed i get lucky again and have two females as i have no interest in breeding and don't want to split them Sad

I don't like them,lol,i still have it in the box,just won't use it,i personally think in the case of cresties that can stick to the glass anyway that they take up unnecessary space.
