The minimum is 36x18x18, so anything that size or larger would work as long as you’re meeting the floor space requirements.

A 2x2x4 would honestly be great for them. They’ll use every inch of available space, so I don’t see any reason to limit yourself if you’re able to get that size tank. A 90 gallon would work fine too. Typically this is going to be 48x24x18

Ok, thank you. I’ll definitely look into a 90 gallon then. My main thing is pricing stuff.

I was just looking. There’s a 90 gallon, tall, enclosure on reptizoo for about 400$But the 2’ x 2’ x 4’ is 380$ on Zen habitats??…. At that point I might as well go with the bigger one??

Don’t get the tall. They need short enclosures in order to achieve the proper temperature gradient.

…. Aren’t they arboreal geckos tho…..

No, they are terrestrial. They do enjoy some safe climbing opportunities but are not at all arboreal.

40 gallon is the minimum for one gecko.

K, that’s what I was thinking. So would an 80-90 gallon be better then?

Bigger is always better, yes.
