I'm thinking about getting some leopard geckos and was wondering about a few things which i have already researched but sometimes i feel its better to actually ask people there opinions.

in your opinion what is a good number of geckos to keep together?

what size tank would you recommend?

does it matter if you keep different morphs together? do the all have the same temperament as each other?

which are the rarest morphs just out of curiosity?

Leopard geckos do fine on their own, and do not "need" company. Some geckos will tolerate company but its not needed. If you do want more than one, make sure they are all females and the same size. If you have a male in with females he will breed with them too much, causing stress. More than one male will fight if housed together.

what size tank would you recommend?

A 10 gallon is minimum, but Id say no less than a 20 gallon really.


does it matter if you keep different morphs together? do the all have the same temperament as each other?

Yes its ok if you follow guidelines above about housing geckos together. Morph doesnt effect temperament (as far as I know anyway).

which are the rarest morphs just out of curiosity?

Depends where you live I guess...not too sure. Maybe the APTOR / RAPTOR?
