Answer 5

Properly housed, one adult leopard gecko should ideally have a 20-gallon long tank to itself.  They are solitary creatures and do not want a companion constantly causing it stress.  Although it may not seem that there is a dominance issue, sleeping in the same hide, eating before the other, etc. are all dominant behaviors.  One eventually will suffer from stress or something worse.

I'd really suggest getting them separate tanks.  If you want to breed them, introduce the male to the female, let them breed, then separate them again.  They do not want or need company.

Answer 6

I would use a 30-40 gallon breeder (long) tank. You can probably keep them in a 20, but space is very important even if the geckos tolerate each other as tank-mates so they don't get stressed out.
