gecko's living together

I have two cresteds now. One of them weights 20 grams and the newest one weights only 5 grams. After the quarintine period is it okay for me to house them together. If not then why? Right now I'm on crutches and I will be for some time, so I was wondering if if it would be okay because it would be a whole lot easier on me and I know the cage is large enough. Just wondeing if there were reasons to or not to do it. Thanks

The main reason is the size difference, to your 20 gram crested the 5 gram one looks like finger food. I like to call them new caledonian popcorn at that age.

Assuming the smaller one didn't get eaten, it would have a hard time competing for food or cage space if it had to. It would also be extremely nervous with such a large predator/competitor around.
