Hello forum!!
I have the chance to get 4 lep geckos...1 male and 3 females...comes with complete setup ...rocks/hides...dishes etc.
Its a 20 gallon tank.
Could someone tell me if there are any pointers etc i need to know about.
Person is moving and not taking geckos with them.

I know as long as it is only 1 male, they shouldn't fight too much. That is about 20 crickets a day between them all.

Also, Hello!!! I am also new to this board. I'm no pro either, but I love my two new Leopard Geckos.

Thanks a bunch....are yours active during the day?
Do you have a pic of your setup/cage?

Hi Bryan

One male to three females is good. That way he won't be picking on one female all the time to have sex.

One thing so you won't think that the male is fighting with the female is, during sex the male will nibble on the females tail and work his way up to her neck and that is where he will clamp on to her to hold her in place while he doe's his thing. If she isn't ready, she will nip back at him etc. as her way of saying no. I wanted to tell you this, just so you wouldn't think they were killing each other.

Just for your own piece of mind, ask how old they are, have they ever had to be taken to the vet.?, have the females had any eggs?. You are getting a great deal with all of that plus the geckos.

If you have anymore questions, please ask.

When you get it, post all of the things you got with the tank and the heat source ect.
