its on the upper end of size. but if you provide enough water, food, supplements, humid hides, dry hides, and proper temperature control it will work just fine

I don't think it's too big, but you could deffinately put more in there. Just keep the food and water in the center so they can't be too far from it. I'd love to have a cage that big, I'd just build a great enclosure for my 6 girls.

Honestly, I think it is too large. This coming from someone that has tried the 50-75 gallon tanks. I housed 4 geckos in a 50 gallon aquarium and some negative things I noticed -
*MUCH harder to get the heat dialed in, and keep the ambient air temps at 85*F.
*They really only used half of the space provided - keeping to the left half where the UTH was located.
*With such a large area, it was harder to feed them anything other than mealworms, because crickets and roaches could hide much to easily.
Since moving all my geckos into their own 15qt tubs on the rack I built, I have noticed they are much healthier in appearance, and the temps are more easily controlled. This is just my opinion of course!

i have a 60+ gallon tank its more square so has LOTS of ground space and I only have four leos in it.. THEEEY LOOOOVE IT! They are all VERY healthy and happy!!
Here's a youtube link of my "main" tank.. I have other leos in other tanks aswell, but they are either juvies or males.

Yea Heather makes a good point. I think it would work if you maybe had a heating pad on each end and then the middle was cooler. I live in Florida, so I never have to worry about air temps getting too low, but if you're using bulbs to keep the temps up too I guess that might be a problem.
And you'd have to feed them only meal/superworms or feed them crickets in the separate container.
I'd think about it carefully, to make sure everything can be done comfortably. It's a shame tanks that big don't come with doors or something, because it would make life so much easier.
