90% of the time the two species do not require the same care. In most cases, people will try to house a leopard gecko with a crested gecko. Leopard geckos live in heat reaching 105F each day with up to 14 hours of light and 0% humidity, very dry. The crested gecko live in temps never exceeding 80F with 10-12hours of sunlight and up to 90% humidity. One of the species is guaranteed death depending on what the setup of the tank is (desert or tropical)
Depending on the species of the gecko will determine if the gecko would require a larger tank or not. A small gecko species would do fine in a 10 gallon tank but larger species such as Tokay geckos or Leachianus gecko would require a larger terrarium. Also, depending on the specie of gecko will determine if the tank should be of horizontal orient or vertical. A ground welling specie will enjoy a horizontal layout, while an arboreal specie would prefer the vertical.
such as im getting 2 leos i think but wondering about putting a house or crested or mabee a frog eyed gecko if i can find in my tank
Absolutely not ! They are from different continents, requiring completely different habitats ! NEVER mix species of reptile that are not found together NATURALLY.
Crested geckos are semi aboreal species, preffering to be off the ground in a bush/tree/shrub, rather than low to the ground. This species preffer a taller tank over wide. A 12x12x18 or bigger is the most suitable and ideal terrarium for one adult crested gecko.
Yes but you will need a 15 gallon high.
no
Reptiles that can thrive in a 3-gallon tank include small species like certain types of geckos, such as the African fat-tailed gecko or the mourning gecko. It is important to provide proper heating, lighting, and substrate for their well-being.
Yes you can but, there are certain rules to this: -A baby and an adult cannot be housed together (baby is food!) -Two males cannot be housed together (very aggressive especially around females) -Females of the same weight and size can be housed together. It's best to have 1 gecko per 10 gallons of space.
Well i don't think you should put any other geckos in the tank with a leopard gecko. If you have 2 male and 1 female dont put the males together or else they will fight to death for the female.
terrapins, like most other turtles need: a basking spot plants so they can 'hide' a UVB light over the basking spot don't use gravel because that might lead to choking a water filter
anything that is in its natural interment
A fullgrown medium - large species of gecko require 10 Gallons per adult. 12x12x12 is a 10 gallon tank.
