Leo Setup

So, I jumped into the leo wagon lol. Brought home a cute little leo, purchased from my good friend Pat with Action Reptiles. I am curious to see some cool 10 gallon tank setups for them? Right now she's just on paper towels, basic water and food dish, and a hide. Also a mini UTH on a dimmer for a hot spot. Any tips?

Also, are they social? Should I be buying another female leo from Pat? Hehe....

Females can be grouped together as long as there's enough floor space and hides but they have to be around the same size or the bigger one will bully the smaller one I don't have no pics of a set up cause my geckos are in tubs

Might I add she a cute Lil girl looks like she smiling

I have my one in a 10 gallon tank at the moment, I do own a 30 gallon tank with a ball python in it at the moment. He will most likely be moved to the rack if he doesn't calm down though. Is the 10 gallon too small for one? Also, if I were to buy another female it'd be from my friend Patrick where I got this one....they were all the same size....

I don't see anything wrong wit a 10g but 2 geckos in a 10g I double is recommend and same size females do well together I have 3 females in a 32qt tube and the youngest female will bully the others for food I have to seperate her when there wormin in there or feed the other 2 first

Same set-up as me, but I keep mine in tubs. Some do keep them individually but alot of breeders keep them at a 1.2 to 1.3 ratio. If kept 1.1 the male will stress out the lone female. Two females would be fine near the same size and with enough hides.

I don't leave my males with my females I know how I feel to b in a house full of women
Jk but I don't want no untimed breeding

Haha agreed, I keep all of mine individually.

Thanks for the reassurance that my setup is okay...I was worried she'd be stressed out. I <might> get another female...we'll see how my boyfriend takes to the idea lol. What do you guys think of the "can-o-superworms"? I put three in there earlier and she hasn't touched them, think I'd have better luck with live mealworms/superworms? I figured I'd try the canned stuff since it's kind of easier, but don't mind getting live ones every few days as needed.
