Halogen bulbs should not be touched with bare hands as the oils of the skin will significantly shorten the life of the bulb or cause it to shatter.

What’s the size of the tank


Would this be great to house 2 Gold Dust Day Geckos?

Answer by LizardPersonFeb 05, 2026
Definitely not for their whole life. Should be at least 30 for 2.

We are looking at getting a Crested Gecko. Would this house him his entire life or would we have to upgrade at some point. On line it says they should have a 20-gallon tank, but is that really necessary.

Answer by ChewyApr 24, 2020
For hatchlings up to six month old geckos, we recommend a 10 gallon Zilla Critter Cage or Zilla Vertical Tropical Kit. This allows the gecko to have plenty of room to explore, while not making them feel lost in a large and open enclosure. Once the gecko has grown past 6 months, you can increase his tank to a 20 gallon Zilla Critter Cage, or keep it in its Zilla Vertical Tropical Kit, which can house one adult crested gecko for his whole life.

Can I use this for leopard geckos

Answer by ChewyNov 03, 2019
This cage would not offer a leopard gecko enough floor space to move and live comfortably. Leopard geckos are not climbers and they lack the signature "sticky fingers" that allow them to scale walls and windows.
