as babys you can keep them in smaller enclosiers but as adults you need atleast ten gal. per gecko. people say that you can keep one male and two females in a 20 gal. but it is better to give them 10 gal. each... and plus 10 gal. isnt a lot so it won't take up too much more room. i have 4 leos in a 60 gal. because you have room for more geckos if you want more...or you can give them more than just the bare min.

Well 1.3 is on the edge of enough space and not enough space in that tank. If i were you and you just want to get some more leos. You can put 2 in the 20 gallon. Or if you just want one mroe put it in the 20 gal. I dont recommend 1 gecko in just a 10 gallon tank because with all the essentials he has barly enough room to lay straight.
