Default Housing size for a leopard gecko

I've looked on a few care sheets but all vary quite drastically on the size requirements of the viv for a leopard gecko. I'll be getting her soon, and i think she's a little over a year old, possibly 2.

Any help would be great

24*15*15 is probably the recommended smallest size.

Yeah, Thats A Good Point.
Thats One of the reasons tarantulas are kept in small cages too.
So its alot easier for them to catch prey.

I would go;
1-2 Leopard Geckos In A 2ft.
2-4 Leopard Geckos In A 3ft.
4+ Leopard Geckos In A 4ft

Anything beyond a 4ft is pretty pointless for leopard geckos.
You woul dhave difficulty maintaing each leopard gecko, Etc.

But to answer yur question simply. 2ft Vivarium

24 x 15 x 15 is good but I think the more common size tank you may find is 24 x 12 x 12 Sorry that dont help much.
