It’s approximately 25 gallons. So it’s good for two juveniles, or one adult.

That should be okay... but I would go bigger... And why would you house them together? Why not keep them separately. Even females can’t be housed together sometimes...

You can keep them together but only for a short time out of the year and that is for breeding which you pobably won’t be doing...

 Quick question!!!!!

i keep all of my females together. pretty much every one i know in the crested gecko community does as well. repashy says that they are definitely social animals and that they do seem to enjoy interaction with eachother when they are together, but that it isn’t required. the only thing you need to watch out for is major bullying, and a huge size difference, but i have never had any problems, and have all my females in one cage. they have all lived together since i got them, and are only separated for short periods of time [breeding, cleaning the cage, and check ups] they can fight, but it is usually when one is gravid and one is not. but the whole point of getting multiple females rather than male and female or male and male, is because you can house them together. i must warn you that they can be very vocal sometimes when together, but not always. then again you are talking about a group of girls hanging out! can you really expect them not to talk? ;)

generally speaking you want a cage that is twice the length or hight of you gecko, so two adult geckos at 7 inches equals 28 inches high, though if you got the 18x18x24 i think that would be fine because most cages that are taller rather than long are usually 12x12x?. and i think that one is a 35, but don’t quote me on that one, i will have to find that out! i do know alot of people who use that one for two though.
