Do leopard geckos HAVE to eat live food?
No. People feed leopard geckos "pinkies" for various reasons. To boost nutrition during a geckos pregnancy. To give a gecko a large feeding so as to not have to feed it for a week (this works well if you want to take a vacation). Some people just think it's entertaining. A Leopard Gecko does not "need" to eat baby mice. Crickets will do.
How much are the leopard geckos tank?
The gecko tanks can be around $35. Its for a LIZARD, so its going to be expensive.
How do you tame your leopard gecko?
No reptile truly becomes 'tame' - they 'learn' to tolerate being handled by people - in that they realise you're not going to hurt them.
Are earthworms the ones you get for fishing good for leopard geckos?
No no no, if you are going to feed your leopard gecko worms you can try meal worms, wax worms or super worms are all a great choice for leopard geckos. (you can find these worms a pet store not in your back yard)
What size tank for a leopard gecko?
For just one leopard gecko, a ten gallon tank is fine. For two, ten is OK, fifteen is good, and twenty is ideal. Add around five to ten gallons per leopard gecko for a comfortable living space.
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!

Can you keep a leopard gecko in a plastic tub?
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.
Do leopard geckos bury?
Leopard geckos will dig for multiple different reasons. Most will not burrow within the substrates as a means to sleep. Some will however dig if they're gravid. When a female is eggbound, she will seek out the most damp spot in the terrarium and deposit her eggs when she is ready. If a leopard gecko is going through shed, it is common for them to again, seek out a damp spot in the terrarium to aid in the shedding process. In some cases, a leopard gecko will burrow a little in order to come closer to the under tank heater, if one is present.
What is the next new Webkinz?

How do you know if a lizard is hungry?
The best way to see if a baby leopard gecko is eating is to watch after the food has been placed inside the tank. Many times the gecko's will eat as soon as the crickets are put inside the tank.
What should you do if your gecko has not eaten for 5 days?
That depends on the species, age and overall health. For example, in a healthy adult leopard gecko, going five days without food would be no problem, but for a crested gecko needs to be fed every couple of days. Do some research on whatever species you have, but as a general rule, don't do it unless you know that it's okay.
