A good rule of thumb is 10 gallons per cow gecko.jadi, if two-tailed gecko has a 20-30 gallon will work fine. A filter on the aquarium or terrarium is also required. This will prevent the gecko to escape and prevent other animals disturb the gecko.
Decoration and equipment

In a breeding cage containing only one male and one female. But it could also be another way that is mated one male with several females. The male parent was able to fertilize females within the not too distant future. The way of breeding pairs could not save the amount of material needed male parent. Many breeders use one male to fertilize 2 to 5 females in a breeding cage.
Pairing and Pengawinan
Leopard gecko mating does not require special treatment. Material breeders who meet age requirements need only be mixed in breeding cages. Usually the marriage will happen by itself. But for leopard gecko comfortable and not stressed, you should note the placement of the cage. Location breeding should not be too bright, to adjust to the nature of the nocturnal life. We recommend also the farthest from the sounds that can interfere, so the locations used quiet.
