the smallest tank that you want for a leopard gecko is 10 gallons. Any bigger than that is fine. If you have 2 or more, a 10 gallon tank isn't big enough. Leopard geckos get very claustrophobic. when you pick them up, you don't want your hole hand around them, keep your hand nice and open or they get very stressed and that is never good for lizards.Some things you might need are rocks for it to lay on and get heat, a water bowl for when it gets too hot and also make sure it always has plenty of water. 1 to 3 hiding places depending on how big your terrarium is because they get stressed when they cant feel that there safe. Some leopard geckos are different, some like to dig under the sand and some like to climb. You will eventually fined that out when you get to know it. If you have a baby leopard gecko, DO NOT have sand on the floor of the tank because when they are going to eat, they could easily eat some of the sand and there bodies will not digest it well. Then you can design it what ever way you want, stuff for it to climb on, hide under, what ever would make more comfortable.
The start up costs for new accessories and terrarium can range from $150 - $400. They can be purchased used for about $100. A leopard gecko can range from $50-$500 or more depending on morph and age.
A leopard gecko can weigh up to 50-100grams. They can get as long as 9in. or longer.
You can handle a leopard gecko whenever you want to but the best time to handle them is in the evening because they are nocturnal.
I would say somewhere by 8/12 month's possibly more depending on the leopard gecko.
The leopard gecko kit being sold at most pet stores usually consist of: A 10 Gallon tank Sand for substrate 2-3 Deco's 1 Hide 1waterbowl 1 food dish You can use it for a panther gecko because panther geckos are very adaptable and can be kept in a desert or a tropical set-up, but I reccomend a mix. What I would do is buy the kit and buy some eco earth to mix in with the sand and there you go panther gecko set up!
This depends on which Gecko you are talking about, as they are quite a few. A leopard Gecko is usually around £40, where as a crested Gecko can be picked up for as cheap as £20. That said, a red Crested Gecko can set you back £80. It is best to call your local reptile pet store for an exact quote.
If properly cared for, any Leopard Gecko can live up to 20 years.
A crested gecko is a species of gecko that enjoys humidity. This species does not require a bowl of water but instead they enjoy daily mistings. By spraying the terrarium this increases the humidity level as well as a water source. The crested gecko will lap up droplettes from the walls of the terrarium or from the accessories.
Geckos are not cannibals but with the chance to eat sitting at ones feet, the possibilities are high. Chances are the adult may mistake the baby as a live feeder and scoop it up as if it was a cricket.
a leopard looks like a panther but has spots on it...well its kind of hard to explain, I would look it up on google
yes, you can feed them apples, grapes, and bananas. but remember to cut them up in pieces big or small enoug for your gecko
no, the mice will end up nibbling away on the leopard gecko and most likely injure it severely. Also, they just won't go together well. some people feed their leopard geckos pinkie mice, but that's when the gecko is grown and large, plus you should only do that 1 time every couple months.
