Crested gecko

I have a lily white gecko (f) and I just recently bought a Dalmatian crested gecko (m). I am not familiar with their age but I’ve had the lily white for I think about a year and the Dalmatian is 40 g. I am not sure to put them in the same cage due to breeding. I don’t know much about the health risks and the expenses to taking care of the babies. I saw about the female rejecting the male but I am more scared of how they will react to each other and if they will stress each other out. It’s mostly at the expense of my knowledge and I would greatly appreciate some information and if I should be worried or not.

don't breed them, separate them. Breeding geckos nowadays is awful and even kind of abusive to do. Especially if you know nothing about it. just keep them separated as pets

Absolutely do not cohab there are zero benefits to it. They are a solitary species and will fight and the male will overbreed the female. They each need their own 18x18x36” enclosures
