20 gallon for one gecko

[Chewbecca]

Is a 20 gallon too big for one leo?

I'm a ding-a-ling and cannot remember how sensitive leos are to their environments.
I am so used to dealing more with rhacodactylus geckos and their sensitivity to new environments.

As long as I have hides in there, one gecko should be fine in a 20 gallon, right?
I use a 20 gallon for a breeding enclosure. My plan next year is to put in my female and let her get used to the environment and feel at home.
Then I'll eventually put the male in with her.

Sounds great!

I have kept single leos in 20 gallon long tanks for over 10 years and it has worked out great!

I'm actually just starting out (have yet to make habitat and buy my leo) and have a 29g tank. I figure as long as it's not a huge empty space that he can't keep busy in, he'd be fine.

I keep all my males alone in 20's and they're doing great. I think it's the perfect tank size for a single gecko.

I use to have my female in a 20 long. She was there for all but 3 months of her life. I then got a male and a 40 gallon breeder tank that I put both of them in and divided. Works out great.
