  1. If you want them all to be the least stressed and the most healthy, you should house them separately.  Leos are NOT a social species and don't want the company of another leo.  

    Also, I will disagree with the tank sizes posted on here.  A 20-gallon long tank is good for ONE adult leo.  I don't know how you would give each gecko 3 hides in a 20 gallon tank.  These geckos get 8-12" long, so a 10-gallon is really too small to provide them 3 adult-sized hides.

    So please, if you want more, get them each their own tanks.  And if you do decide to house them together, you need to quarantine the new one for 60-90 days.  And get the biggest tank you can.  Someone I know has their ONE leo in a 90-gallon... the more space the better.


  2. 20-25 gallon is it

  3. 30 gallon would do, about a square foot for each gecko

  4. 20 gallon would be adequate for a trio of one male and 2 females but this is only if you plan on having babies. you could have 3 females but their is a possibility of bullying in a 20 gallon which could lead to stress and later on...health issues. if you have females a 30-35 gallon would be perfect and would allow ample room for the females to get along if there are plenty of hides and basking spots for everyone to use.housing more than one male could be fatal as they will fight! i hope this helps and if u need more help please feel free to contact me if u have nay other questions regarding setup and such:) good luck!

  5. 30 gallon but if there realy big 40 gallon

  6. first thing u should never put 2 or more leopard geckos of the same gender together so thrust me get separate tanks and about 12gal-20gal

  7. i have 7 in a 20 gallon aquarium and there fine. there all adults and 1 is pregnant.

  8. A twenty gallon long is fine. Make sure that you have only one male and two females because the males can be very territorial.
