3. Leopard Gecko Housing
The place your new pet is going to live is extremely important. It needs to provide an environment similar to the wild environment where these creatures developed, be easy for you to clean, and allow you to see your pets. Before you even bring your new leopard gecko home, you're going to need to have housing already set up.
This can be purchased at the same pet store or reptile show where you buy your gecko, but don't do it on the spur of the moment. It's extremely important to know in advance what you'll need to keep a gecko happy and healthy, so you don't spend money on the wrong thing or end up with inappropriate housing. Fortunately, compared to many other types of lizard, a leopard gecko has minimal requirements, which are fairly easy to provide.
The Terrarium
Geckos are most commonly housed in a terrarium, usually a glass tank (such as an aquarium for fish) with a lid and appropriate ventilation, temperature control and humidity control. This is relatively simple and inexpensive to set up, but do remember to factor in the costs before you buy your new gecko.
Large fish tanks are commonly used, and are an excellent choice, but people have successfully kept leopard geckos in home built tanks and even appropriately sized plastic totes. Making your own tank or using an object not meant for pets is generally best left to people with experience keeping these animals, however.
Tank style cages offer reliability and consistency, cutting down on the number of factors that could be a problem for your lizard. They're also very easy to keep clean, and offer better humidity control than a cage with ventilated sides.
There are wooden tanks with glass doors available, which are attractive and appealing. However, they can be tricky to clean, which means that people who aren't concerned with the appearance of their tank are usually better advised to stick with all glass.
Size will be your first consideration. You'll need to decide how many geckos you'll be housing. Many people make the mistake of buying a cage for their pets that's too small. Just because the animal will fit doesn't mean that the cage is large enough for it to live there!
Avoid small plastic cages with handles (often called critter keepers). These are excellent for transporting leopard geckos to the vet and other locations, but are far too small for any but hatchlings to live in, and hatchlings will outgrow them quickly. Likewise, small tanks intended for bettas and other tiny fish are unacceptable.
Look for a tank with a minimum of a hundred square inches of floor space per gecko, but ideally more. Another basic method for figuring out how many geckos will fit in one cage is to use ten gallons of space per gecko. It's better to keep your geckos in a little too much space than a cage that's just a little bit too small.
Cage Capacity and Colony Mix
A ten gallon aquarium can house one to two geckos, while a twenty gallon aquarium (choose long aquariums over tall ones, even if they have the same capacity) could house anywhere from two to four leopard geckos, all the way from hatching to their adult size. The exact number will depend on the temperament and territoriality of the individual lizards in your cage.
Don't make the mistake of assuming bigger is better and get one that's too big, however. The size of the tank could make it hard for the geckos to find their basking spots and hide boxes. Larger cages are still generally better than smaller ones, and will provide a better temperature gradient. Just don't overdo it.
Leopard geckos can be kept alone or together, and will not experience distress if kept by themselves. Groups can be a problem in the wrong combinations, however. Males often fight when housed together, and females sometimes do.
Males may be housed with females, but these lizards breed readily, which may be a stressful situation if there aren't enough females. After all, egg laying throughout the breeding season can take a considerable toll on the health of your females.
If you plan to allow your leopard geckos to breed freely, house a single male with more than three females. This will prevent the females from excessive stress and exhaustion from egg laying. Remember that breeding geckos will require greater nutrition supplementation than non breeding ones.
Sometimes, in a group cage, one gecko will grow larger and more quickly than the others, out competing them for food. If this is the case, the smaller cage mates will be undernourished. To prevent this, separate the largest animal and see if the situation improves.
Some leopard geckos are aggressive enough to need to live alone for the entirety of their lives. As these are not naturally social animals, the gecko will not be harmed by this kind of living situation.
Groups of females usually do well. They do sometimes fight one another, but this is much less common than it is with sexually mature males. Be ready with an alternate housing solution if any of your lizards become aggressive, however. Some leopard geckos just aren't made for a communal living situation.
Remember that even if fighting doesn't happen early in life, it may begin once your geckos have reached sexual maturity, as this is when they are most likely to become territorial.
Large geckos should usually not be housed with smaller ones, due to their tendency to bully their younger cage mates. When introducing a new gecko to an established tank, be certain to engage in quarantine procedures for one to three months, caging the animal separately.
This ensures that your new gecko doesn't have any health problems that might be spread to the others, such as a serious disease. Never house your leopard gecko with other animals, including other species of reptiles. The chance of injury or one animal eating another is too great, and even if things look fine at first, you never know when something unfortunate could happen.....................................................
