Re: Hey Guess What

As a baby the max would be a 10 and as an adult the minimum would be 20.

I used a human heat pad for my Leopard Geckos and I know several other members that do as well.

Re: Hey Guess What

You actually may want to start out in a twenty gallon. That way you don't have to drastically change his environment later.

Re: Hey Guess What

How big is the babie you are getting. If it is still a hatchling you dont want to go with a 20, it would be to stressful.
