Moving leos

[frog]

Ok. So I have three geckos (all leos). Two of them live together in a twenty gallon tank, the other alone in a ten gallon. We have a 50 gallon tank (kinda squarish) and I was thinking I could move all three to the one. Im not sure how the third one would take it and plus he is the smallest one (about 6 inches when the others are 8 inches). They would have plenty of room, and it would be much more convenient for me. So if I watched them and if they got along they would be fine right?

The tank (I will get exact dimensions tomorrow) is pretty squarish so is fairly tall. Would they be happy if i made some higher areas for them? Im not sure how leos would do with high areas. And would that be too big of a tank? Would they get lost in other words.

I just want to be sure they would be okay in a tank that size. I would provide several water and calcium dishes, and I will feed by hand as I always do.

I'd say that would be fine. Keep a close eye on them for the first few weeks. As long as you've got a couple water and calcium dishes in there, I don't think them getting lost will be an issue. And as for climbing, leos are pretty much terrestrial and won't climb branches and sticks, although they might make use of platforms. At least it couldn't hurt, and it would provide a possible getaway for the smaller guy.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

I've got 3 adult females in a 55, and they are did wonderfully. No I don't think a high place is good for them, they don't tend to go very high, they like being at ground level...
I also have 3 juvie/baby leos in a 40 breeder, again all do fine.
