How many leo's per cage

[Saphira]

We have 6 leos and 5 cages.

How many can I put in one cage? We only have one 10 gallon and the other 4 are longer than that......

Females and males (have their own cage) are separated (in case anyone was wondering)

Males are kept by themselves and Females can be kept in small groups. Some females may be more agressive than others and may have to be treated like a male, but most can be kept 2-4 per 20g tank, maybe even 5-6 but that would be pushing it.

right my males each have their own cage. We have 2 females in one cage and the other two have their own cage. I was thinking about combining females for a little while to cut down on cage space.

i would say a ten galls floor space per gecko member that

are leos social?

i mean what benefit will there be from housing more than one similar sized female in a 20gal?

Two females to a 20L should work well assuming they are similar in size and even tempered.

but will they socialize, and "have fun" together?

Try it out. If they dont get along you can mix and match them. You may be able to get 4 in one 20L but it would require several hiding spots and daily cleaning.

I don't find that they are terribly social. Having them all in one cage would be less cages to clean. It isn't likely that I would do it permanently but for while we are out of town etc.. it is easier for someone to take care of fewer cages.

understood... thx

Yep. Females are generally tolerant of each other, but I would not consider them to be truly social.
