Hey, I have two crested geckos one is a Juvenile and the other a full grown adult. First question is can I put them in the same environment ? Also how can I tell if my juvenile is female or male. I know my male has big balls but from the Juvenile I only see two small dots on the side but no balls like my grown male gecko .

Keeping them together would not be recommended. The adult may see the juvenile as prey and may try to eat him/her. Cresties can be tricky to sex, especially when young. If yours weighs at least 10-15 grams, you may be able to see pores using a magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. You may see the beginnings of a bulge at around 30 grams body weight. If you are unsure, have him/her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.
