How Many...

[beanx]

Adult Leopards could fit in a 40gallon tank? I have 3 in it now and am looking to buy a group of 4 adult las vegas patternless females. Would the tank be to over crowded?

Oh way over crowded! 7 geckos in a 40 gallon is wayyyy too many, I wouldn't go more than the 3 you have in there now I honestly don't like having 2 together (can't tell who's eating, who's bullying, etc). But whatever works for you!

I hand feed each one of them when its time to eat. I pull them out and feed them on my bed to make sure they all get as much as they want, feeding has never been an issue. But thanks for the info i wasnt exactly sure on how many is to many lol.

I think it has more to do with space than feeding issues Aaron. I know geckos will fight if space is limited, no matter if they've been together since they were born, females, etc. I know there is no way 7+ hides can fit in a 40 gallon lol.

yeah i understand i was just saying with the 3 i have now everything is ok. I dont have the other 4 yet and ill probably just buy another 40gallon tank to put them in. The 3 that are in the 40gallon now never fight they all play nice. Thanks again tho.

Yah, I'm sure you would separate them if they fought 40 gallons is fine for 3 that get along (I have 3 in a 55, and it's almost too much). I am building a rack because I'm tired of the space tanks take up lol!
