My understanding from what I've read (I, like you, don't have any yet, but think they're cool, and have done some reading) is that adults thrive best in fairly large cages; remember we're talking about a gecko that can be substantially larger than just about any other gecko. One care sheet I saw recommended a 3 foot x 2 foot x 4 foot tall cage (roughly 700 quarts, for comparison), though it said they could be kept in smaller spaces. I guess if it were me, I'd probably give them as much space as I reasonably could. I imagine juveniles would be just fine in a rack system, but your adults might be best off in larger separate caging.
