How much does a lepord gecko cost?
It depends on too many factors to give a definitive figure. In my area of the UK, you can buy just the lizard for around £30.00 (for a juvenile). An adult costs around £50.00. A fully-set-up vivarium (lights, heating substrate, 'furnishings' calcium, water & food bowls etc)... will cost around £120.00
However - it's not just a simple case of buying a lizard, sticking it in a vivarium, and expecting it to survive... it won't ! You need to make yourself familiar with the correct living conditions you need to provide for the reptile to survive successfully. Basics such as temperature., humidity, lighting and food are essential knowledge !
