Is a 10 gallon tank good for two juvinile leopard geckos?

Question

welll.......... is it? lol

Answer 1

Welll............. The long and short of it is....

A 10 gallon tank is in truth, a little small for two juvenile leopard geckos. It would do, if you honestly can't stretch to a bigger tank. FOR NOW, that is. As you obviously already know, they will grow bigger very quickly, and then a 10 gallon with absolutely not do. For adults, and for these when they grow a litte more, I suggest definitely a 20 gallon tank, or bigger. WHen they are adults, the bigger the tank, the more your herps will thrive :D

hope i helped

Answer 2

no its a bit small

Answer 3

I think its a little small for 2 of them i would invest in getting at least a 20 gallon tank because they need more room to run around and then you can buy a fake habitat for them so they can feel at home.

Answer 4

a 10 gallon tank is the adequate amount of space for one full grown leopard gecko, but since you have two juvinile leopard geckos you could keep the both in the 10 gallon tank untill they get bigger

Answer 5

no way dawg for now its fine but just till you get the extra cash then go out and spend some money and get a 20 gal which would be perfect for them! i have 6 of them in a 90 gal and they love it but as a rule of thumb you should have 10 gal for every gecko

Answer 6

It will work fine they are a lazy lizard. But when u have some extra money it might be nice to step it up a size.

Answer 7

For 2 of them at a Juvinile stage it should be alright...how ever being to confined they can often start fights for territory and dominance

it shouldnt bother them to much since there Juviniles but when they start to grow i would get a bigger tank

Answer 8

I currently am housing one juvi leopard gecko in a 10 gallon and feel that it isn't large enough for just the one, much less two.  You'll never be able to fit the adequate amount of hides needed (3, 1 on the warm side, 1 on the cool side, and 1 moist hide) in a small 10 gallon.  Hides are even more important when housing two or more geckos together because there is no guarantee that they will like each other and they will need to be able to get far enough away.

Also, make sure you are 100% positive that they both are female.  Two males will fight and will often result in serious injury or death of at least one of the geckos.  A male and a female, even as young as 3 months old, will mate and you will end up with fertile eggs that you aren't prepared to care for.
