I have made up my mind. In two weeks, when I finished building my ig her new cage, I will be filling her 55 gallon tank with a colony of Geckos...I don't want another tank, because I like this one. So now your job, should you choose to accept it, is to let me in on every piece of information I need to know about Gecko care. A real quick, immediate question I have is...how many Geckos can I have confortably in that 55 gallong tank...its 4 feet long, about 20" tall, and 14" deep. I was kind of hoping for 7 geckos, but let me know if that is too many for that tank. Thanks for any help you can lend me.

Well that depends on what kind of geckos you are wanting to keep? If you are hoping to keep a colony of leopard geckos there is an excellent care sheet located in the caresheets forum. Remember you only want to keep one male in a colony as territorial behaviour can occur.

Yeah, it depends hugely on what species you're interested in. Many geckos are extremely solitary and will get stressed in the presence of others, or fight them, especially males. If you get a colony, it would be very important to make sure you don't have too many males together, if any. Leopard Geckos will get along (but not males), geckos in the genuses Pachydactylus, Hemidactylus, and Tarentola will often do well in small colonies (again, with no more than 1 male). These would include bibrons geckos, thick toes geckos, most of the house geckos, wall geckos, moorish geckos, white-spotted geckos... Now, if you get anything that can climb glass, I can guarantee you'll have a little trouble keeping all your gex accounted for though, so you may want to go with Leopard Geckos. They're pretty easy to care for anyway, and are CB. Leopard Geckos would be your best choice IMO.
