Leopard Gecko Housing

 

Leopard Gecko Housing

Fortunately Pet Leopard are very easy to keep. They will thrive in almost any safe housing container with the correct Leopard gecko needs.

Leopard Gecko Housing Size

The recommended Leopard gecko housing size is based upon what worked in previous and popular setups. A lot of literature suggest the cage sizes the author was using as basis for his / her article or paper, based upon (what he / she perceived as) the well being and happiness of the animal. Leopard gecko housing sizes are also dependant on what is commercially available, i.e. the average sized fish tank or in the case of South Africa the average sized cabinet or plastic cage.

In my opinion a single Leopard gecko can be housed in an area as small as 30 x 30 cm / 12 x 12 ". Although Leopard geckos are ground dwelling one might some or other way escape in shallow or unsealed containers. One to three Leopards can be housed together in an 13 ℓ / 3.5 gal (US) ADDIS™ (35 x 25 x 15 cm / 14 x 10 x 5.5 ") container with the correct setup. A 10 gallon / 40 -50 ℓ tank / aquarium can also be used to house a few geckos. The floor space should increase with at least 25% for every Gecko added after that. "Pal pens™ "or "Desert dens™ "can also be used.

Leopard Gecko Housing Setup

The average Leopard gecko housing setup should consist of a large enough housing container, a Leopard gecko hide box (the most important), a suitable substrate, some basic furniture and a food and water bowl. Make sure that the housing setup is not too crowded and that the furniture is secure enough to prevent falling over and possible injuries.
