Need help with new geckos

I bought what believe is a golden gecko, gekko ulikovskii and have it settled happily. I believe it is a female and I went back and bought another one which I thought was the same kind. Now I believe that I actually purchased a common house gecko, hemidactylus frenatus. I have them together in a large terrarium. They are very similar in size. Will they be ok together or do I need to get a separate setup for the new one?
Thank you!

I may be wrong because I don't keep these species but from what I've seen and read about them there's a good chance you will ultimately be out one hemidactylus frenatus if you keep them together.

Thank you for your response. I think I over reacted. The second one was completely albino looking when I brought it home so I thought it must be the house gecko. But when I got back from work, it looked like it had settled in and its coloring had come back and now it looks like the other one. I am relieved.

Do you have any photos of the two? Are you certain they're the same?
