Default Leopard Gecko Vivarium size..

Ok, after much debating tonight over where the new water dragon enclosure will be, we now have the dilemma of my leo needing to fit in an alcove which is smaller than her viv so I need to downsize.

She's currently in a 3 foot long x 1.5 foot high x 1.5 foot wide.

Question is - What's the smallest she can go in?

I was thinking of downsizing to at least a 2 x 1.5 x 1.5 ... Sufficient?

2x2x2 is a great size for one..
2x1.5x1.5 is still fine.
She prolly wil notice being downsized though so may be a little offput for a bit.

edit...
thinking about it.. she prolly wont even notice as its pretty close still and 1.5 foot high is still high enough for a second level if need be.

Easily big enough for one leo, will probably get on better because of feeling secure, finding food etc.
