Hello everyone! I have a question about tank size. Right now I have my juvenile leo in a 20 gal tank I think he is 3 months old. (Pics provided below)

When I feed him I take everything out of the tank except for the water bowl and mealworm dish and put a few crickets in the tank. It seems that he either doesn't see the crickets or doesn't care much to catch them. I am wondering if the tank is too big for him right now? I have a 10 gal tank (exact same brand as the 20 gal he is in now) just laying around. Do you think it is better to switch tanks and put him in the smaller one until he gets bigger?

From all the care sheets I've read they say that 10 gal is the minimum but the bigger is better. I don't know if that applies just to adult leo's. He doesn't seem to be stressed out at all. And has a fat little tail.

Thank you!


This is the tank, its the one on the bottom. The top is for my snake. (btw this is a very short term set up, I am waiting on the stands for my 10 and 20gal to come in the mail)


This is Zero
