Who owns Leopard Geckos?

The leopards or the cresteds? A full grown crested including tail is between 7-10 inches long, but yes the ones I posted are all juvis.

Middle one is my fav. They really do have marvelous colors.
 
Just like with adult corns theres really no such thing as too big at all. The only thing they require is height over 16 inches since they are arboreal. A lot of people turn aquariums on end to make it taller and buy a fitted top. They don't usually use typical hides but love to hide in fake vines and corkbark tubes placed diagnally instead of on the floor, and bamboo. We keep our home pretty warm in the winter and cool in the summer good temps for them are 70-80 degrees so a/c shouldn't be a worry. In their native habitat it gets in the high forties at night in the cool seasons only heat above 80 is stressful for them.

Theyre cute too!


Once I move my corns, Ill have a 40 breeder freed up. Is that too big is do I just need to make sure theres ample hides and branches/greenery.

What about in the summer when I have the AC on in the house. I have forced air, so every room gets cool.

I *think* the 40 breeder is 17 inches high if Im not mistaken. My home is pretty much around 72-74.
I just have one more questions....do you do the humid hide around shedding time?

They sound like tons of fun to do a set up for. I dont know why but I enjoy creating set ups.
 
I do not use humid hides with them, but always mist their cages twice a day- morning and night. I have never had a problem shed and strangely enough bad sheds can come from too much humidity as well as too little. They eat their shed too and most of the time unlike with snakes they don't always go through the blue phase or it just goes unnoticed because naturally they get lighter and darker during the day- its called firing down or up. Tanks are a blast to set up and dollar stores always have great fake plants. You can use outdoor sticks as long as you soak them in water for 20 minutes and bake at 300 for 30 minutes or until the stick is completely dry. I also coat mine with poly crylite to water prrof them so they don't mold and last forever.
 
I keep around 10 here at casa de tricksterpup.
I really enjoy them and are some of my favorite critters, next to my snakes.
As lizards go, and I have kept a few. They are by far the nicest and easiest lizards to keep. I keep 1 per 10 gallon tank. I do not house more than one in a cage. I had to many problems in the past where one ate all the food and the other just got thin.

Here is one of my big ones.
