Great!

So, what do your snakes eat? Mice?

Mice, rats. He just started gassing the one he feeds his largest snake but he's been doing live.

What’s gassing? Like making them pass out?

Gassed killed them. Another option than frozen but you only have 30 minutes to feed the snake before it begins to rot.

@HuffleClaw if you are still looking for a second tank, Petco is doing their dollar per gallon fish tank sale right now. You can get a 20 gallon long tank for only $20 (although you will have to buy a lid for it separately).

Does anyone have some advice for me please? My heart is shattered watching my babies be separated. Tango (male) is pacing and has been since I separated them a few hours ago (I got a new tank, new hides, etc)... Mango is sorta stressed, but not as bad as tango.

What can I do?

Geckos are naturally pretty solitary so the tank change is probably the most stressful part for Tango. Reptiles often react poorly to change. Hoshi gets upset if I even add new decor The best thing honestly is to just leave him alone and let him get used to his new tank. When Hoshi arrived via mail we actually covered his tank for three days to help him relax and acclimate. Just hang in there and I am sure everyone will be back to their old selves next week

Thank you for the extra reassurance

It feels horrible watching them be upset. But giving him a new tank is the right thing to do! You are being a good pet parent and doing what is best for both him and Mango. He will get used to his new tank eventually and enjoy the extra space.
