quarantine for new gecko? Help!

[Geckogirl101]

I'm getting a new gecko, which I'm going to put with my female Leo but that's not important right now.
I help with tank setup for the new gecko because I have a quarantine her for a month.
She is a full grown female Leo
I'll attach some pictures of the set up I have right now.

I don't know why that came out backwards... Sorry.
but anyways I used a paper towel as sub straight and two dishes as food and water.
I have a hide made of a deli tub that's the size of your hand with your fingers spread out. Also lined with paper towel.
i also have a thermometer.
I'm going to a heating pad for it soon.
i think the tank is 5 gallons. And I know that's small or at least seems small to me but I'm just using an extra tank I have, I'll get a bigger one if you guys think I should upgrade which I personally think I should.
but! This gecko will come out every day for an hour to an hour and a half to run around in my bathtub with the gecko that it's going to be housed with, and will be handled constantly. PLEASE REPLY! ANY AND EVERY COMMENT OR RESPONSE IS HELPFUL!

To be honest a 10 gallon will be better if it's a full grown gecko. If you look at craigslist, it should be pretty easy to get a 10 gallon tank.

+1 or you can usually grab a ten with hood at a show for 20 bucks.

Others have commented on the tank size so I'll say that as a quarantine tank you're doing great. You want everything to be pretty much disposable or bleachable, so keeping the furnishings simple and easy to clean is the best way to go for the month or three that you keep her in quarantine.

She needs a hide on the warm and cool side and a moist hide in the middle. Having absolutely nowhere to hide will massively stress her out. Also, taking her out for an hour a day will just stress her out. Would be better to spend $15 on a bigger tank and leave her alone. I don't even take well adjusted geckos out for that long, especially if you're just sticking her in a bathtub with no heat.
