How many female leopard geckos would fit in this tank?

Written by scottology on March 6, 2010 – 2:19 am -


So, how many female leopard geckos can I fit in a 40 gallon breeder tank?

Despite internet searches, I couldn’t find a definitive answer to this. So, would I be able to house four females in such a tank without trouble?
I of course refer to the long term, as in live their entire lives in there.

    Actually that’s incorrect.

    Leopard geckos require 10 gallon a piece to live happily . So, you were right in thinking 4 females can go into a 40gallon breeder. They can stay in here from hatchling to adult.

    Although if your breeding you can keep a group of 1 male and 4 females in this tank. But only if your breeding. The difference is the amount of stress the geckos get when their not breeding and are housed a big group.

    depending on how young the geckos are I would say yes you could use a 40 gallon. However, when they begin to grow more i would suggest watching them to see if they are cramped and how they are interacting with one another.

    each lizard needs 5 gallons of space. So 40/5= 8 lizards could happily.
