Do leopard geckos need a heat mat and lamp?
Yes, most likely. it really depends on which type of gecko you have. I have a leopard gecko, and it does require a heating lamp. But if it is really hot or cold, matching your gecko's temperature need, then you usually don't need one. You can ask a vet or a pet store worker for information.
Do gecoks need heat lamps?
Yes. Any ectothermic (cold-blooded) animal needs a heat lamp to keep them from dying of hypothermia. I have a gecko, so if you have any more gecko questions, you can ask me. The appropriate temperature for a gecko enclosure is 78-92 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 68-75 Fahrenheit at night.
Can leopard geckos get burned by basking lamps?
No, the gecko would know when to get out of the light.Its a leopard gecko.
If you buy a gecko will you need to buy another?
No, one gecko can live by itself.
How much haet do gecko need?
Every lizard knows how much heat they need, all you need to do is put the heating light in the side of the tank or enclosure and the gecko will sunbath when it needs the heat, and will leave when it does not need it. If you have an enclosure that you can't really put a heating light to one side, then you are just going to have to experiment. Put a normal heating light in there and watch your gecko, if it is pressed against the wall as far away from the light as possible, then the heating light is too powerful and you should get a smaller light. Usually geckos and other lizard-like animals only need 8 hours of sun light/heating light a day. Aways make sure your gecko has water that isn't too close to the heat light, it's never fun to be in a Jacuzzi in a hundred degree weather.

Can a crested gecko go three days without heat?

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.
Can i put a heat lamp for my leopard gecko's heat source?
Yes you can, however if you have a heat lamp you should get a heat mat (for under the cage) so he/she can have heat at the top and bottom of the cage.

Can golden gecko and house gecko be kept in the same tank if its a high tank?

How much would a gecko with the supplies cost?
Depends on how fancy a set up you want, for example if you already have a tank you only need heat mats and you don't need artificial lights as you would with Bearded Dragons. I priced it up for a 3ft tank and it would cost £30 for all the accessories as i already have the tank.
