A dry vivarium suitable for ground dwelling species is appropriate. The enclosure should be a purpose built vivarium or aquarium with a screen top. The minimum size for a single individual is 60 x 30 x 30 cm and for a pair or trio is 90 x 38 x 30 cm. The substrate can be a fine grade of sand. Smaller leopard geckos may eat the sand and become impacted so an alternative is paper towelling or newspaper, which is cheap and easily changed.
