I have 2 Leo's in a 10 gallon tank. They both are still pretty little but will I have to get a bigger tank as they grow? And how will I know?

A lot of people say a "10gal for 1" and "20-Long for up-to-3" Leo's is ok, but a little bigger is recommended. For 2 you will want a 20-Long or something maybe just a little bigger.

They are said to be "loners". Even though they cuddle (tolerate each other) and share a hide, it is recommended that you have atleast 1 cool hide and 1 warm hide PER LEO. .....So you would need something bigger than a 10gal to fit those hides. :)

Are they both female?

I agree that a 20 gallon long is a minimum for two adult geckos, something that lets you add multiple hides for the multiple geckos. A 10 gallon may only last you a few months and then you'll notice that they'll look pretty cramped in the tank together. Especially if you free range food like crickets, you'll see that they may not be able to hunt down food without being on top of each other all the time.
