Leos in a 120 gal.?

[BRIAN******]

My 125 gallon aquarium recently broke and i was thinking about making it a huge leo colony. How many leos can i fit in there?

 

[reptinut]

it depends on the dimensions. Care to share them?

 

[BRIAN******]

The dimensions are 6'long by 2'wide so 12 sq ft

 

[reptinut]

Probably 6 leos

Yea, I would want to house too many together. Just make sure there are plenty of hides and bowls for everyone!

Yea, proably 6-7. I find that geckos do really well in colonies as long as everyone is the same size. My girls especially just all sleep huddled together, and it's adorable. I plan on keeping my 5 girls together as soon as my 2 younger ones are full grown. I recomend going to a home depot or landscaping store (or even out to the woods somewhere) and get lots of rocks and branches to stack them in a way that makes lots of nooks and cranies for them to hide in. It's more natural and it's much cheaper than having to get several hides at a petstore. I just did that for my girls and I'm always surprised that they get themselves into the tiniest little nooks lol.

Good luck! And post photos of it when it's done!

Just make sure to bake them before putting them in.
