How Many Leo's

How many leo's could I keep in a 2ft by 1ft by 1.5ft aquarium? I was hoping to be able to keep 2 in there would that be suitable?

That will be okay for two Leopard Geckos.

Yes L x W x H.

I don't suppose I would be able to fit 3 in there?

Re: How Many Leo's

That will be fine, just as long as you provide double of everything. Three would be to crowded unless you were breeding.

Re: How Many Leo's

The more space you can provide the better, and remember not all geckos get along so you may have to be prepared to separate them.

I keep one gecko per 20 gallon breeder tank, although a 10g tank can be sufficient. I think the rule of thumb is 10g per leo, if I remember correctly.
