The easiest and safest substrates for leopard geckos in captivity are papertowels. If you are looking for something more visually appealing, most hobbyists will use floor tile. Both are great ways to ensure impaction never occurs as well as very easy to maintain.

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.

Impossible to answer ! Vet fees vary wildly - depending on what country you're in, which practice you use, and whether it's your first visit... Incidentally - grammatically speaking - your question should have read 'how much would it cost to take a leopard gecko to a vet'... You take something fromwhere you are to another place - you bring something from somewhere else to yourself !
