What should you do if your leopard gecko never comes out of his rock home?

Geckos are nocturnal. They also prefer to laze about their days rather then run around like crazy. Also Leos who tend to stay inside a hide all the time feel threatened. If you just got him/her then give them some time to adjust.

Do Long tailed lizards do well with leopard geckos?
Absolutely not ! They require completely different living conditions ! Besides which - they'd never encounter each other in the wild.
When would a leopard gecko have to go to the vet?
never! unless he/she looked ill.
Do leopard geckos get along with hermit crabs?
A hermit crab would never be seen in the wild environment that a leopard gecko comes from. A crab cannot sustain heat reaching 100F in the mid afternoons. They cannot be housed together.

Yes,they can
What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!
Will feeding your leopard gecko cheese hurt him?
YES IT WILL ! NEVER feed a reptile on food that is NOT part of their natural diet ! Apart from the fact that they would NEVER eat cheese in their normal life - cheese is full of FAT - which is just as bad for a gecko as it is for humans !

Is sand bad for leopard geckos?
YES! Leopard geckos do not naturally live on sand and when they eat their food they lunge at it, eating some sand accidentally. This causes problems in the stomach which can lead to your leopard gecko dying.
Can you keep leopard and crested geckos in the same habitat?
A leopard gecko comes from the deserts of Afganistan and south easter Asia. A Crested gecko comes from the rainforests of New Caledonia. Their habitats are much to different from one another to ever co-exist. All Gecko species are territorial and will not greet one of the same species unless its breeding season. Do not house any other specie with a crested gecko or a leopard gecko.
How do you hold a baby leopard gecko?
Never by the tail. Scoup them up gently and let them rest in your hands. If it's trying to get away then it doesn't want to be held.
Can a Leopard Gecko be introduced to a new Leopard Gecko?
Unless they are juveniles, I advise you not to introduce adult Leopard Geckos. It can get the Gecko who got into the vivarium first quite stressed which can kill it. If they are juveniles, though, they will be OK together. However, you should NEVER put two males together, even if they are juvenile, as they would fight to the death of one another. Two females or a male and female who have been together since juveniles will be fine, but anything else could end up with a dead Gecko. P.S. I have two Geckos of my own who have been with each other since a very young age too. Beware that some animals are quite solitary like these kind of Lizards.
