Plan on getting a leopard gecko at the end of september (hopefully) and about to get my cage setup and I have a few questions.


1) does the under the tank heater stay on at all times? (nothing in my research said anything about it)

2) are those half coconut shells aka "dome homes" hides big enough for an adult leo?

3) I know you use calcium with Vitamin D3 for dusting food but should the little jar of calcium I leave in the cage at all times have it as well?

4) still debating on 10 or 20L terrarium

5) I know loose substrate is a no for leos so I can I clutter the cage with natural looking hides,wood and rocks so it's not so plan?

( god I feel like a reptile noob! lol)
