A 40 gallon could house about 6 with no problems...for calcium you could also dust the crickets if you get babies to make sure they get enough while growing. But it they do use their calcium bowl....its really cute, reminds me of a "got milk" add because it gets all over their faces! When do you plan to get them???

Temps that range from about 80 on the cool side, to 95 under the warm hide is best. You CAN keep multiple leo's together. Males will fight males, but one male and several females works, or all females are okay. Just make sure they each have their own hides on the warm and cool ends. Breeders can decide the sex of their babies by incubating them at certain temperatures so they can be sexed BEFORE birth.

Hey!

Leopard Geckos are good pets. They are nocturnal so they do not require expensive UVB. It is said that you can keep a pair in a 10gallon, but mine would fight over hides in a tank that small. Once upgraded to a 20 gallon they stopped fighting. At one end of the tank you want a under tank heater with a large hide/cave ontop. Near the center of the cage a wet hide. (A hide with moist paper towels or moss to aid in shedding.) Far side of the cage should be kept cool with another hide, a water dish, and a shallow dish of calcium. The best substrate is tile or shelf liner. What I love about leos is that they have a "toilet" area and they go in one big pile...usually on the cool end of the cage. Makes clean up a breeze! Feel free to ask more specific questions if you have them, and be sure to share pics when you get your new leo!!!! Cheers!

Sorry, I don't know of an online source...

Thanks! I actually collected it in the wild (on my property though) from the side of a tree growing near a river. I've found quite a few of them near swamps as well.

You want the kind that are hard and woody, so they don't go all mushy in a humid vivarium. A small hand saw is useful for removing it without damaging the tree, though if it's a dead tree you can also take some of the bark with the fungus, I think this looks kinda neat. I treated it by boiling it in water until it sank and then just let it air dry.

Yes I'm going to the Anaheim show this Sunday. I wish I could go on Saturday but I have to work. Hope there's frogs left by Sunday.

Hello I went to PET TECH .COM They have a great selection of them hope this helps

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your tank.
