Gargoyle Gecko Tank Size?
I've been looking into possibly getting a gargoyle in the future. Would an Exo Terra 45cm x x45cm x 45cm be enough for an adult gecko? I'm not going to cohab. Any other info would be appreciated :)

Gargoyle Geckos are most arboreal and don’t really make use of floor space very often so you’re going to want an enclosure that it taller then it is wide. I don’t know exact dimensions but I know lots of people that will take the standard 20 gallon long tank and stand it up on its end so it’s tall with just a little bit of floor room

You don’t have to do this obviously but a tank of similar proportions would work just fine.
I know there isn’t a lot of Gargoyle Gecko specific care sheets but their care is almost identical to that of a crested gecko sense they live in the same environment and they is a lot more info on created geckos out there so all that can be repurposed for a Gargoyle lol

Good thing that you do not plan to Cohan because gargoyle should not be house together they are a lot more territorial and aggressive then crested.
Also remember if you get a young individual the enclosure will need to be smaller so it can find his food easily, in other words do not put a baby in an adult cage.
Thank you, I think I found a decent one- yeah, I think there are very few reptiles that should be housed together, even when they technically can. I might look around for an adult since it'll be my first time owning one :)
