Is this okay for a leo?
As I was just talking about on the morph sub-forum, I'm thinking of getting a leopard gecko. I had them when I was younger, and remember them being very cool pets. I already have 3 ball pythons (soon to be 4), and since I recently moved them into tubs, I have some empty tanks & extra supplies - hence the reason I'm thinking about a lizard.
I thought my 15gal wooden/glass enclosure would be best for them, and I'm wondering if you all agree? Here's a picture of how it looks now, and I'd appreciate advice on making it gecko-friendly! I'll read the care sheets, of course, but they don't answer this question on them.
And before I spruced it up... the heat lamp is still there, since UTHs don't really work on this tank.

Re: Is this okay for a leo?
That seems perfect for a leo. I suggest a calcium dish and if your going to feed meal worms(if crickets wont realy work). Putting a dish with mealworms in there at all times. Also are you going to breed and are you getting a baby or an adult?

Re: Is this okay for a leo?
Thanks! I will probably get an adult or older juvenile - basically whatever is cute and available at the vivarium (I'll probably get him/her from East Bay Vivarium, where I got my first BP). Not sure about breeding, but it's a possibility! For now, though, I'm just looking to have them as pets. Would you suggest getting a pair rather than a solo leo? If so, I'd want to go with females - right?

Re: Is this okay for a leo?
Thats great your getting into leos! I suggest getting one from a reptile expo or if thats not possible go for the east bay. About the pair its 10 gallons per leo but 2-3 month old females could fit. You would need to get a 20 gallon to fit two adults in. Yes females are ok,two males with fight. Make sure the leos are about the same size,if your getting a pair. I suggest just get 1. Also i forgot to add you will need a moist hide (sandwhich plastic container) with moss or wet paper towel at the bottom,mist that place everyday. Put the moist hide in the middle.

Re: Is this okay for a leo?
Gee... there just happens to be a reptile show in San Jose next weekend (8/8-8/9). I was planning to go anyway, and now I have an even better reason!
Btw, I've been looking at pictures online, and found a morph I love - the Mack Snow! Any information on those? What would be a good price at a reptile show? Also, is there any advantage to male vs female? I know they're usually incubated to be female, but I don't know if that matters for a keeper.
