∙ 12y agono... you can get calcium at the pet store and cover the gecko's food with it or get Vitamin sand for its cage floor so it gets calcium when it eats its shed
Vita-Sand, Calcium Sand is a product that any reputable breeder will tell you is bad. Leopard geckos will take in a small amount each feeding, untill the bowls get clogged up, This is called Impaction. Please look over your sources before telling other to purchase a bad product.
I would like to inform you that Tile's or paper towel work best for leopard geckos.

Do you have to use a thermostat with a leopard gecko?
A thermostat to regulate or monitor heat is not required to keep a leopard gecko. This species will require an ambient heat of 88-94. This can be acquired on the warm side by using a heat mat. Most people refer to this as a UTH (under tank heater). Using a UTH allows the leopard gecko to rest it's belly against the warm substrates, which is key in keeping a leopard gecko. Most keepers will use a thermometer to monitor the heat within a terrarium.

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.
