larger enclosure

[Stevo26]

i have a pair of leopards, about 4" total length (including tail) i still have them in the original 10 gallon setup... should they be moved into something larger now.... when would that be concidered tool small? also they have been on a diet of supplemented/gutloaded crickets with occasional mealworms... is there anything else that is recommended for these guys? they are healthy and active but not quite as fat as some leos i have seen in shows. even tho i gutload their crickets and supplement with calcium and vit. i still worry about them getting proper nutrition.

It is ok for now. I would probly put them in a larger tank. Maby a 20 long...

I would move them when they get about 6 inches or so. Here is a good care sheet for them.

A 15 gal (24"x12"x12") is good for a pair, but if you can afford it go a bit bigger, incase you expand and get more leopards.

Feed can include: Crickets as main; meal/king/superworms as secondary; waxworms silkworms butterworms as treats and the very occasional pinky mouse (I don't use them myself)

To fatten them up, try feeding them 3-6 waxworms a week, with the odd silk if small enough and butterworms if you can afford them. At 4" they are still very young juviniles, so best bet is 3 week old crickets if they are big enough for them, mealworms, and waxworms. Slowly move to larger items as they grow. I believe the rule is don't feed anything longer than length between tip of nose and eyes. (anyone else agree??)

Also I have a caresheet if your into a long read
