How many geckos per cage?

[Stick]

I know its a question thats asked more then frequently, but ive looked through the first few pages and can't find the answer, so here i am =)

Simple enough, can i put 2 adult leo's in a 20L? Or would i need bigger to house more then one?

I would provide 6 hides in total (probably more actually) but 2 cool, 2 hott, and 2 moist. 2 females, would more then likely buy as juvies and keep them in the 20L till.....forever

Under those circumstances, would that work? Bigger tank? 2 seperates?

Kinda new to gecko's, looking to buy a new one (had one ages ago, but was from a petstore, you know the rest)

Thanks for any help!

It always depends on individual personalities, but typically two females will live peacefully in a 20L. Two males should never be housed together because of aggression issues, and a male-female pair should only be together if you are prepared for breeding, and even then it is often best to keep them separate for most of the year because males can stress females with excessive breeding attempts.

Two in a 20L is fine assuming they get along, as Tony said. I house 3-4 in a 20 long with an additional 12"x12" heated second level.
