Requirements
The most important
Leopard gecko cage requirement is that it must be large enough to
keep the amount of geckos in. The large Accelerate Reptile Cages
are ideal for a few Leopard geckos and the small cage is large
enough for a single adult. The
cage size should be increased with at least 25% for each Leopard gecko added after that.

hide box should also be supplied with various
cage furniture like rocks, artificial plants and pieces of
wood as decoration.
