The breeder I got Oggie from told me the Exo-terra nano was too big for mine and I thought she was crazy, but I guess they prefer smaller tanks. I guess people keep up to year old crested and gargoyles in Medium critter keepers which seems to small for me. I cannot wait for this leachie to grow up his/her parents have pink on them! So I'm hoping mine will get that too =)) Thanks for looking guys!
    i would question what kinda breeder that is, it is riduculous to cramp leachie in exo terra nano, it is ok while they're babies and smaller leachies. Same goes for cresties, medium sized plastic keepers are ok while they're babies, that is how I keep mine, 8-12 m olds are all beeing transferred into 12x12x18. for adult minimum size is 18x18x24. My breeder tanks are all 30x25x35 and I can't say they're too big. Of course the tank i want for leachie is a bit overkill, but have you seen granterra leachie? the 1 pound or so monster? crested, gargs, leachies are all tree geckos, thus too big of a space will never be an issue for them, the bigger the better, especially for leachie who likes to sit high up in the trees same actualy goes for tree frogs, say waxies, 3 of them will be perfectly fine in 24x18x24, but some breeders in Argentina keep and breed them in 7 feet tall enclosures and I'm pretty sure waxies are not complaining
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    The exo terra nano is perfect for my leachie right now seeing as he is a baby. S/he was born on 8-26-12. Although amble space to move about is very important, Lets say like a PacMan frog Geckos also get stress from too much open space and too much room. So you always have to keep in that mind you don't want to over do it. I have a 30 gallon vertical tank my leachie will go in when S/he reaches adulthood!

    yeah, agree, that is true for babies, it will be also more difficult to find food in huge enclosures for them, for adults however it is different story.
    at any rate would love to see more pics of your babies
