u can fit them in there but as they get bigger its more stressful on them I think. 2 juvies are ok but adults is pushing it

a 10gallon tank is SATISFACTORY for 2 leos, since they are very hardy and adaptive, but is not the best setup for them. pet owners have a responsibility to their pets to provide optimal conditions for them....that's why only one leo should be kept in a 10gallon tank. breeders would offer larger enclosures if they could, but there are space limitations.
basically, 1 leo = 10 gallon tank.
