This week's episode is a Round Table Discussion focused on the Leopard Gecko cohabiting controversy sparked by Adam Wickens of Wickens Wicked Reptiles a few weeks ago. We are joined by Adam Wickens, Liam Sinclair of Reptiles & Research and Ellie Hills of Hills Herptiles to discuss whether or not leopard geckos can safely be housed together, as well as cohabiting reptiles on a broader scope, including how to safely cohabit your animals, the various types of cohabiting situations and which species work best for cohabiting.
