Cage Size for Age...

[Cephalectomy]

I was wondering, I have a 3-4 month old Leo that I'm currently keeping in a plastic bin, but I have a 15 Gal tank to put him/her in when she's of proper age/size...I was just wondering about this, how old or big should she/he be for me to put her in the 15 gal? Thanks

I typically keep babies in a 6 qt tub until they reach 20-25 grams, then move them up to adult tubs. It kind of depends on the individual gecko though, I would be comfortable moving one earlier if it is active and an aggressive hunter.

unfortunately I don't have a scale, so not sure of his/her weight. She/He is about 6-7 inches long (including the tail of course) and definitely a healthy eater, very good appetite, have him/her eating mealworms and baby superworms I don't intend to change homes yet, was just wanting to know when would be safe Thanks

15 gallon is fine.its not like she is hunting for crix.if your feeding mealies from a dish she'll know exactly where to go.make sure she has enough hiding spots including one in the warm end and one on the cool end
