I also live in California and I got my leopard gecko from petsmart (not petco) He's healthy and active n he's fat! which is what you want :P I started handling him when he was a baby and he now crawls up my arm when i put it in the tank!
Be careful with getting them from specialty "Reptile" stores (not all but in my experience) they don't care much about them since they are so common. They seem to pay more attention to their more expensive and prized reptiles. The vivarium in Berkeley they keep them in a pull out plastic drawer.. which is cruel!
Yes.
Petstores. Online. Get an under tank heater.
probably a pet shop
explain how you would take care of the leopard gecko and that you would take good care of it and you would buy it with you money do NOT keep nagging them about then they will not be as likely to get you one rather gentley remind them every week or so i know this seems like a long time but it's worth it when you have your leopard gecko.
Somewhere in Englend! But you should tell a person in Englend where to buy a gecko and maybe they would know!
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
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!
You'd get a far healthier specimen - by contacting a private breeder in your area !
Leopard geckos or Crested geckos. Make sure BEFORE you buy the gecko you read as many articles you can about it. And remember only ONE male per tank! Good luck!

online
I purchased my leopard gecko for $20.00 with out setup $200 w/setup*if you are thinking of getting a leopard gecko make sure you research what it needs at a lot of corporate stores they don't know exactly what is needed
