🧮 Why Use a Calculator for Your Setup?
Guessing is where most leopard gecko mistakes begin. A heat mat that's too small never reaches temperature; one that's too large takes over the whole floor and removes your gecko's ability to cool down. Getting the size, wattage, and thermostat settings right is the foundation of a healthy enclosure.
Every GeckoCalc tool follows widely accepted husbandry standards, so you can set up your enclosure with confidence:
- The 1/3 rule for heat mat coverage
- A thermal gradient with a 90–95°F hot side and 75–80°F cool side
- Age-based minimum enclosure sizes
