Default a little advice

Right i have decided to get 2 leopard gecko's and was woundering what i should keep them in .

i have a spare 2ft clearseal tank that is 16" high and 12" wide
a plastic retile/snake tank that is 17"x6.5"x10" (11" at the highest part)


would either of these be suitable or not ?

also was thinkin of making a viv but not too sure about this

do leo's need alot of height

also both will be hachtlings

cheers

I wouldn't say no, we were debating on keeping them in a rub, but then housed most of ours in stacks so they went in a spare one. as long as there's plenty of ventilation can't see a problem, others may disagree, I'm still quite new to keeping leos too

make sure there are plenty of hiding places, mine like to stay undercover really, there's one hide in mine and little bridges that they rest under, plus a moist hide

They could end up being two males, so its best to start off housing them seperate any way.
