Leopard geckos originate from semi-arid deserts, so naturally, they love a warm, dry environment. But they also need a hiding place that’s moist and lovely—this is where they retreat to when it's time to shed their skin. Multiple leopard geckos may be kept in a size-appropriate terrarium—but only one should be male. Terrarium You’ll want to keep your leopard gecko in a well-ventilated terrarium with a screened lid. Start with a 20 gallon (76 L) tank (30” x 12” x 12” or 76 x 31 x 31 cm). If you’re getting multiple geckos, think about increasing your tank size. Shop terrariums Temperature and humidity Keep your leopard gecko’s habitat like the warm climate they come from. You should have a warm side and a cool side of the tank. To do this, put a heat light on one side of the habitat, and measure the temperature with a thermometer at each end. You’re aiming to keep the terrarium between 80 and 90 F (27 - 32 C) on the warm end, and 75 - 80 F (24 - 27 C) on the cool side. It’s also worth getting a hygrometer, to make sure humidity remains in that 10% to 30% range, which leopard geckos prefer. Shop environmental control & lighting
