A female leopard gecko, so long as its being kept properly can start to reach maturity around 12-18 months of age and can breed successfully without strain on the body until 6-9 years of age. After that age, it takes a toll on the females body as they are having to use a lot of calcium reserves for the eggs.
Leopard geckos are solitary animals only meeting with one of the same species during mating season. I would not reccomend housing any other specie with a leopard gecko.
yes they do but only in your face
Leopard geckos cannot live with panther geckos. Even though care for both are generally the same, there are some huge differences between the two. Leopard geckos are usually between 7 and 10 inches long (some almost a foot), and panthers are 4-6 (or occasionally up to 8) inches long. This size difference alone could do it. The Leopard geckos would pick on the panther geckos. Also, the climate of the two needs to be very different. Panther geckos live in southern Madagascar naturally, while Leopard geckos live in Afghanistan and neighboring countries. Panther geckos need higher humidity levels than Leopards, and lower temperatures. Together, either the leopard gecko, or the panther gecko, will suffer, if not both. Please, don't keep these two creatures together. It won't work out well.
reptilesncritters.com or if they do not have females you can go to a pet store and purchase one. Petco has baby male and female leopard geckos for only $30.
Leopard geckos are one of the few geckos that don't 'stick' they have little claws instead this is because in the wild they dont climb walls only rocks.
Geckos are not poisonous at all, neither for humans nor for their prey. Only very few lizard species have a venom and of those, only the Gila monster and the Komodo dragon are dangerous to humans (although with an attacking Komodo, venom is the least of your worries).
If you are going to start keeping leopard geckos, you can only have one male but as many females as you like. If you are trying to breed them then have a few females to up your chances. If you put more then one male in they will fight.
Leopard geckos do not have the ability to speak in English by any means but they can vocalize. Geckos will vocalize for many different reasons. Males will call out to females in order to prove dominance, and prove whom is the bigger male for rights to breed. A lot of leopard geckos will hiss when feeling threatened or in danger. Tokay geckos are notorious for croaking and grunting. Geckos are the only species of reptile that have this ability to vocalize.
No salmonella is not an airborn bacteria its only transmitted by touching the lizard
if you keep feeding you leopard gecko like i do he will store part of the food he eats in his tail.So the only way you can get it fat is to feed him/her.
lots of people keep there leopard geckos in tubs. I'm going to get two leopard geckos for my birthday and I'm going to get one proper glass vivarium and one plastic tub. I do think that it depends how many geckos you are going to get. if you are only getting one then i would buy a glass vivarium. if you are getting 1+ then i recommend a few plastic tubs.
No, they only eat live food such as crickets, meal worms, wax worms, and super worms.
