Tank Advice (And Human Advice)
I have an amazing leopard gecko and I love him to death. He is my family’s first non-furry pet. (They don’t plan to get another, but I do when I move out). I want to give him the best tank I can. I have a 25 gallon tank, but I feel it’s a little cramped. I have been offered a free 50 gallon to take by a friend who is moving (Used to be for hermit crabs). Unfortunately, I still live with my parents who don’t want to get a bigger tank because they think it will take up too much space. I’m mainly posting this to get some comments opting for the bigger tank to convince my parents to change out his smaller tank for a bigger one, or comments that can quell my worries about his tank size.
We also have paper towels for bedding rn, and I’m wondering if that is okay for long term? I’ve heard some people say it is, but I’m worried it can have the same issues as those reptile carpets.
