Question

i hav 1 leo but my uncle is goi to give me 4 all have been sexed all i need to know is what size of viv for them thanks to any1 who helps me

Answer 1

I wouldnt leave them all together because of dominence and ect. But if u insist then i would house them in a 40-50 gallon tank. It it were me i would just use a 72 quart sterelite tub. I dont really care about the whole natural look.

Answer 2

i have just one gecko in a 20 gallon but hes big. but the average size for1 gecko is 10 gallons so u should have a 50 2 60 gallon tank.

Answer 3

50gal

Answer 4

I have one in a 40 breeder. I would never keep more than three (Keep either 1 or 3) in it. So if you just about double the length that is a 100 gallon.

Everyone else who answered doesn't know ****. 1 leo can be kept in a 10g. So If I cut the bottoms out of 5 10g tanks and stacked them, would it be fit for 5 leos? NO!

The floor space of a 10g tank is 20" x 10". So you would be looking at a tank 100" x 50" (one 10g's floor space for each leo). That is a floor space of 5,000 square inches. or about a 950g aquarium.

The floor space of a 100g is 72" x 18". so its area is 1,296 square inches.

I think a tank 72" x 18" would be the minimum. Do what is right, don't dare count in gallons and not floor space.

Answer 5

You should have 10 gallons per gecko, so at least 50 gallons. A little extra space would never hurt though, so if you feel they would be happier in a tank bigger than 50 gallons by all means get it. For five leopard geckos though, a minimum of 50 gallons is necessary.

The height of the tank can be really small. Leopard gecko tanks do not need to be high up like Chameleon tanks. Most of the size should be in length.
