Leopards do get along better than some others. However you will just have to try it and see, while being prepared to separate to different enclosure.

Most people do keep leopards together with no problems. Just be like a boy scout and be prepared.

Ditto both of the above.

I used to have 2 males and 4 females in one pen. The only problem I EVER saw with them was the biggest female pushing one of the smaller ones around. Nothing serious, just a little shoving match. The males ignored each other.

For the most part, leopards are very tolerant of each other. I have two males that tend to spare frequently during the spring and early summer. Despite being half his size, the smaller one is usually the agitator.

Heck ya sweet! so are sulcata's the only 1s that dont really get along?

Russians can be really bad too. I've seen a lot of russian tortoise blood in my days. Many of the Testudo can get that way especially in spring. My friend Cory has one that will come over and violently attack the shoe of anyone who dares enter his enclosure. Gopherus males are pretty intolerant of each other too. Redfoots, stars and leopards tend to tolerate each other much better, most of the time.

I have three adult leopards, all from different sources, and they get along just fine. In fact, they appear to favor being with each other when in close quarters like during cold snaps. When in the yard though they will each claim their own section but sometimes they end up in each other's sleeping areas. If you keep them together from a young age then I think you will be good.

He's preparing for the day he grows to be the biggest.

I hope he starts growing again. He's only about 7 inches long and hasn't grown since I've had him...going on 5 years now. The previous owner had him on a strict diet of kale.
