No. Geckos are strictly carniverous. They feed on live food. This can be crickets, locusts and mealworms. These can be bought from reptile/pet stores.

Can geckos live with other lizards?

The answer is no. Animals of different regions, habitats and Eco systems cannot sustain life with another animals of different likes. A leopard gecko from the deserts of Afghanistan with temperatures reaching in the low 100'sF cannot live with a crested gecko from the rain forests of New Caledonia where temperatures never exceed 80F with humidity levels on the scale of upwards of 80%. Species of the exact same region with the exact same requirements can be housed together, and even in these circumstances, most avid hobbyist's do not recommend doing so. There are many factors: Temperament of the species, sex's, size of the animals, cooling period and breeding season, individual temperament's, feeding schedules, humidity, heat, lighting.

How much do leopard geckos cost at petland?

Price is not the proper question, quality is the answer. A lot of pet stores are in the trade for the income. Quality is where a lot of people have confusion. Quality of an animal is determined through the breeder. Does the breeder house the animals properly, have they received proper supplements, are the husbandry requirements being reached? Is it being cared for? And similar questions... A lot of chain stores will offer credit to customers in exchange for their pets. At this point is when and where sick animals will be accepted in the store for sale. An animal with a low price may mean someone needs to rid of it, it may be sick, or ultimately, if the owner did not have the time or finances, the animal is not guaranteed.

Nope - if they need to 'clean' their eyeballs - they use their tongue to lick the surface.

Crested geckos have a clear membrane covering the eye, this membrane is a clear, transparent eye contact more or less. it stops dirt, oxygen, water, substrates etc.. from entering the eye. when something external touches the membrane, they will lick their eye in order to remove anything. The Crested geckos come from the Diplodactylinae subfamily under the Genera Rhacodactylus. Geckos of the Eublepharinae Subfamily are known as "eye lid" geckos all have eye lids. These consist of the: Leopard gecko (E. macularius), the fat tailed gecko (E. Hemitheconyx) etc.. When sleeping, resting, swallowing, and of course blink, their eyelids will close.

Yes, but two males is a bad idea. and unless you want baby gecko's, no male or female.

Should you leave the light on when your leopard gecko is shedding?

You can leave a leopard geckos light on all of the time but you should probably turn it off when it gets dark and then turn it on again in the morning. Like humans leopard geckos need time to cool off. Some things you can give them to cool off during the day are a hollow half log to provide shade, a fish bowl turned on its side filled with reptile moss heavily misted with water, and a shallow dish filled with clean, cold water. You can find most of those things at any pet store. Another benefit of turning off your geckos light is that it saves energy!
