Can there be too much space for 1 leopard gecko?

[Geico13]

Since when im going to get my gecko i plan to to put it in a 10 gallon tank after, a while im going to buy a 38 gallon tank for him/her. My question is can it be too much space for just 1 gecko? ( i know someone that can give me a 38 gallon for cheap so money wont be a problem)

That should be a good size.

However I know if you get to big, it can be hard for them to catch food, but your tank size sounds good to me!

No that sounds fine I agree with Halley though. That if you get too big that they will have trouble catching their food. Although you could just eliminate that problem by either feeding them in a small container or just using a tank divider.

I never seen a 38 gallon. Is it long and wide or is it tall? Leopards need ground space the length and width. I seen a 40 gallon breeder and it is long so plenty of floor space.

its a long tank
well thanks guys for helping me out
(yeah i planned to take him out to eat his food)

I would imagine a dish full of mealies would solve the hunting down the food problem. If you count the number that goes in & find he's not eating them, then you know for sure he needs a gps!

 

[Geico13]

yeah ill try the food dish hopefully he wont need a gps like you said....

You could also pull the jumper legs off of the crickets if you chose to feed those... it makes them much easier to catch
