I have heard that leopard geckos will thrive on a diet of strictly mealworms (with the proper calcium/vitamin supplements). Those are basically escape proof and noiseless. You can get a hundred or so and keep `em in the fridge alive... just get a shallow bowl for the cage or a "worm bowl" that has unclimbable rims on them... You can also get butterworms, wax worms, silkworms, superworms etc... and once it reaches a certain size you can feed the occasional pinkie mouse.

It sounds like your dad doesn't really want you to get the lizard! Try explaining the diet to him again and see if he budges...
