I have my garg is a med size critter cage bc he was too small when I got him to put him strait into a bigger terrarium. Now that he's gotten bigger I want to get him into something bigger. I already had a 20 gal that I was going to use. Do I need to transition him to a 10 gal first?

I'd say at that size he could go straight to the 20gal.

Nice looking garg, btw.

Thanks! I think I'm just afraid he wont find his food. But he's healthy and has great colors. I will try to keep posting updated pics as he grows.

I really find it's only the really little ones that can have trouble finding food in big cages. That gecko is a good sized juvenile, I don't think he'll have any problems. If you're really worried about it you can split his meals into two dishes and place one at each end of the cage, but I doubt he'll have any trouble.

i use 20 longs with sliding screen tops for my gargs, only difference is that i set them up on their ends and cover the backs in black foam board. here is a pic of one of my males' setup...
