for two gex it's best to get a 20 long tank. A 10 gallon is too small once you have all the hides and water dish, etc. in the tank.

To incubate eggs, it is better to use an incubator to keep the temp constant and humid.

If you haven't yet gotten any animal, I suggest you do some research here and other places to learn more about leopard gex. Can't know too much... we are always learning!!!!!!

At least a 20 gallon long. Humid hide and dry hide. Laying box. Do alot of research and ask questions please. Yep, you will need an incubator they are fairly easy to build a homemade model or alot of people have luck with a hovabator. Go to www.Albeysreptiles.com and look under incubation for a sure fire way to set up incubation cups to put in the incubator. The Leopard Geccko Manual is a good book to read up and start with. Good Luck
