What leopard gecko tank setup is 100% perfect?
Nature. No enclosure in captivity is ever going to be perfect. My ideal setup is: – At least a 20 gallon long tank (but not too big, they are easily stressed, and they aren’t the best hunters.) – Slate tiles for substrate, it’s just as safe as paper towels, but feeders have nowhere to hide and it is more aesthetically pleasing – 88-92*F provided by a UTH, or if you have big bucks a radiant heat panel. – 1/3 to 1/2 of the cage heated – 1 or more hides on each side – 1 humid hide on the warm side – Height is not necessary, they are terrestrial – Humidity is not an issue One thing I’d like to point out that makes a much bigger difference than any of this is the fact that they need to be housed individually. The way you worded you question I made the assumption they are housed together. Leopard Geckos, or any reptiles for that matter, are not social animals. They do not benefit from “company”, all additional animals do is add unneeded stress.
