To start with, if you are new to geckos, the most important thing to do is to do some research before you get a reptile. There are some great sticky posts in this forum that cover a lot. In each subforum, there are very good posts as nd caresheets. However 90 cm in height and only 45*45 in the base is not very suitable for leopard geckos, but they work fine for bearded dragons for example. I would not house multiple geckos together as they easily become stressed, fight over the best warm spots, become bullied etc. Overall, they are not social with other geckos. But sometimes females get along somewhat. Especially if you are new to reptiles and don't know about proper heating, temperature gradients,vitamin supplements, caves, shedding etc, I would recommend to start with just one lizard and see how it goes But, like I said, doing all the research on the animal and understanding its needs is the first step

I would recommend against any loose substrate for a leo. That include sand, dirt, woodchips, reptibark, gravel, etc. The soil might be especially bad as it holds moisture which could lead to respriatory problems. The gecko will do better in a drier habitat. The soil can be used in the humid hide - as long as you are sure it is organic. I prefer to use coco-fiber or sphagnum moss in mine. Babies under 20g get paper towels. Best bet for naturalistic is ceramic or slate tile with play sand under it to conduct heat (not on top where the gecko can eat it). I would try to get hides that are small but not cramped for the gecko. Big hides can make little geckos feel super insecure.

if i use plantattion soil,i will use it totally dry,what are tiles??
i'm from spain,and i don't have any idea,are they easy to clean or what?
Thanks for everything,answer me soon

Tiles is a good idea! You will also need an under tank heater (desert mat) and a thermostat to control the heat. Use a digital thermometer with a probe to measure the floor temps. For the under tank heater, it should only cover 1/3 of the tank so that your gecko have both warmer and cooler spots to chose. You know, there is a really good thread on proper housing for geckos. It is from another forum, but I dont think people in here will mind

They describe how you house geckos, what substrates to use and not to use, what kind of heat to use, where to put hides etc.

How to set up your leo's tank

Proper Housing for Leopard Geckos

I followed these when I was new to geckos and they really helped alot. They also show pictures of tiles. You will recognise what they are as soon as you see them

I will look for pewdiepie and ask him if I see him

tahnk you mörten,yo have helped me a lot,im just gonna put only 1 geckin teh setup.
Ceramic tiles,are like....,i know!!
people use them in constructions,ya?
There are lot of diferents tiles,rock tiles,ceramic tiles...
¿are they good for the heat<??
¿maybe,to have the heat property,i can buy a heating cable,put the most part of it at the hot side ,and the rest over the cold and warm side.
i were thinking that,i have a exo-terra large cave,isn't the bigger,but it's really big.
I'm thinking to buy a reptile den large,and a snake cave large.
They need a clacium dish??
I thought they have the calcium i put on insects...
Can i have them without thermostat for a time??,i don0't have enpught money...,the terrarium was expensive...
So how many geckos can i have??? only one ya?
Thank you for all,you and the other forum people are awesome
As i have sayed if you see pewdiepie,take an autograph!!!
is not really probable,but lets trie it!!
I will make a post when i setup my habitat,my gecko will have a LOT of space
THanks mörten!

No problem

Yes, porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and vinyl tiles have worked for me. I have no experience with heating cables, but I think you can look in the forum for that. Yes, you will need three caves: one to put on the cold side, one on the warm side and one moist hide. The snake cave will definetely work as a moist hide!

If you use a multivitamin for reptiles that contains alot of calcium, and that you dust your insects with every time your gecko eats, a calcium dish is not neccesary all the times. However, too little calcium can cause serious problems for your gecko, so it is always good to have a calcium dish in the tank (it is cheap too). I use "Repashy Calcium plus" as multivitamin as it contains everything my gecko needs.

You should put the heat cable on the warm side. It should cover 1/3 of the terrarium. I think that you will manage without thermostat for a while at least. What you can do, is to buy a cheap exo-terra termometer (such as this one: Exo Terra : Thermometer / Termómetro dígital - Instrumento de precisión digital) and put on the floor of the warm side. As you dont have e thermostat yet, you will need to monitor the temperatures daily. The temperature on the floor on the warm side should be about 29-31 degrees celcius and on the cold side about 22-24 degress celcium.

As for now, I would start with just one gecko. Especially if you buy a baby gecko, you wont be able to tell if its a female or male until it is a couple of months old. And young geckos should not be housed together. If you decide to get another gecko, so that you have a male and a female, they should not be housed together all the time as it is hard for the female. Some people think its ok to house two females together and some dont think its ok. One has to remember that geckos are not social with other geckos. In the wild, they rarely meet each other (exept when tehy breed).

If your gecko has too much space, you can always put some decorations in the tank, such as a tree log.

Yes, it would be cool to se your setup! Look forward to seeing it

Ok,
I Dome money,so i Wil Buy a Heat mat of 25 watt
Then crickets and two more caves,I'll also put some Brown papel as substrate but I like to put sand or soil.
¿what do you think???????

 

[DrCarrotTail]

If you're thinking of getting a leopard gecko I would recommend against sand or soil. Any loose substrate that they can eat can cause problems. If you want t natural look go with tile or slate.
