Tank size for Leopard Gecko

[pearlposeidon93]

Ok I am going to get the 40 Breeder and totally deck it out lol
I am going to Repticon Orlando on the 15th to pick out some nice fat tailed leos
With the 40 breeder I might as well get 2!

Your going to stress it our buy changing the decorations and size. Its like when you buy a new gecko, they get stressed and do not eat for a few days.

So what you're saying is that upgrading your leopard gecko's tank is not worth it because it will be stressed for a few days? My one trio went from a 30 gallon to a 50 gallon breeder and they were exploring and eating within 15 minutes of being put in their new home. Saying they're going to get stressed is a poor excuse to not upgrade from a 10 gallon. Trust me, they'll be fine.

I've owned sveral leo's in my day, you couldn't be more wrong. If your leo is stressed to the point that it wont eat for several days when you first bring it home, you may want to reconsider the source your obtaining them from, or the enviroment your placing them in. At the very least have it checked by a vet. A healthy leo should be eating and acting normally (exploring it's new enviroment etc.) fairly quickly.

Exactly.
The last trio I owned resided in a 40 breeder that was re-landscaped and had the decor changed approximately every 3 weeks. They friggin loved it, everytime I changed the viv they became very excited exploring, interacting with each other and me. It even revved up their appetites. They consistently ate better the week or two following a major change in their eviroment.
