Leopard Gecko Housing Question

[IggysMomma16]

Ok, I currently have 5 leos and I have 3 more on the way. My question is what is the minimum tank size to keep my leos in. I have 2 of my females in a 20 gallon long, 2 more females in a 30 and my new female will go in with them and my only male in a 25. I have 2 more males, both adults, coming in soon so what size tank should I keep these in? Has anyone ever housed an adult in a 10 gallon, I know all the books, and websites say it's ok but I wanted to know if anyone has? I usely only use a 10 gallon for a hospital or quarantine tank. Anyone? Thanks!

I have kept single geckos in a 10 gallon tank before with no problems, although I prefer a 20 long. I currently have 3-4 geckos in 20 long tanks with the addition of a heated upper 12"x12" level.

Currently my leo is in a 10gl and very happy, i actually had to keep her in a 5gl for a couple months (there was an accident with her tank and my cash flow was low) and she was fine, but i wouldn't recomend it, a 10 should be fine

Thanks guys. Well now I won't feel so bad housing any of them in a 10 gallon. Thanks again.:biggrin:
