Viper Gecko Question???

[sam_d_7]

Im new with lizards and i would like to know if i would be able to house two Viper Gecko's in a five gallon tank?
P.S. do viper gecko's need special heating lights or heating pads?

whether they can live in a 5 gal I am not sure but i think it should be fine they are not big geckos. I know they dont need lights, they need belly heat like leos i am not sure of temps...research viper gecko care online

temps are pretty close to leopards. I use a UTH that warms up the hot end to 95 or so. I also use a 20 watt halogen puck light to bump temps during the day.

2 should fit fine in a 5 gallon. If you have never seen them in person they are pretty small. I house my trio in a 15 gallon and could probably add a couple more if I wanted.

Make sure you have a lid on the tank. They are small enough to crawl up th esilicone seal in the corners. Lost 2 that way.....
