Land of the Outcasts!

im going to get a leopard gecko in september and i wanted to know if you had any tips for me? also does anyone know any good breeders from essex/east anglia?

Make sure you have a tank that gives each leo 10 full gallons... (1 gecko/10 gallon tank, 2 geckos/20 gallon tank)Have fun!!

10 is ok, but I'd say 20 gallons is better, it makes it easier to have a hot/cold side, also, it gives your gecko more space to explore and walk around. I personally think for just one gecko as a pet, a bigger tank is better. For breeding it's different. And also I guess for young geckos 10 gallons is fine, but for an adult it might get cramped.
