Im getting a leapord geico but i dont know what all it needs.any1 know?

Answer 1

I have raised many leopard,fat tail, Mad. ocelot and various banded geckos. They all require minimum care & accessaries.
I have raised most in used small aquariums ( some I got for free ) or even plastic shoe boxes with locking tops drilled for ventilation.
I usually use newspaper or corrugated cut or folded to fit the bottom. Again cheap or free. I provide a dry hide spot made out of a small narrow box the lizards can barely fit into - they like tight spots. For a hunid hide I use a used short plastic food container with locking top. I cut a hole in the top that the lizard can fit through. I soak some long fiber sphagnum moss in water & squeeze out the excess. I fill the container with the moss & snap on the top. cheap. I use a recycled jar top for a water dish. I feed a few appropriate sized geckos & mealworms every 3 days or so. Coat the insect with a high quality reptile calcium supplement.

Good luck

Answer 2

These are easy to care for so long as you have the basics.

1. a glass cage with sand (you can get special sand at pet stores that won't hurt the lizard if he/she eats it. It's called calci-sand).

2. a space that's dark (we use a piece of bark so it makes a tunnel in which he can sleep).

3. a space for heat bathing - they like it warm. This can be a flat rock or anything similar where the lizard can perch.

4. a water dish big enough for the lizard to get INTO (this is important for their health). Note that you need to keep this clean and refreshed with water.

5. a sun lamp & a night lamp (they're nocturnal)

6. a good supply of small crickets and meal worms (along with lizard vitamins for dusting them)

Answer 3

I have had my leopard gecko ten years and he is great. You will need a tank, prob about 3 foot wide. He will also need a heat mat and light, although he won't need this on all day. mine has a type of gravel in the base of his tank. he also has a little rock house as he likes to hide, and a rock water dish. mine has some little plastic lizard friends, but they're not essential, they just look cute! When he is a baby feed him on little crickets and then he can progress onto locusts when he is older.

Answer 4

1. 20 gallon long tank
2. Under tank heater that covers a little under half the tank bottom
3. Screen cover
4. Paper towels, non-adhesive shelf liner, or slate or ceramic tiles for substrate.
5. Thermostat for UTH
6. Digital temp gun or digi thermometer with probe (heat of ground is what matters, not air temp)
7.Two hides (one for cool side and one for hot side)
8. Humid hide (place on hot side) Instructions here: http://www.reptilerooms.com/Sections+index-req-viewarticle-artid-1-page-1.html
9. Water bowl, dish for mealworms, and bottle cap for calcium
10. Pure calcium (no D3) and multivitamins

DO NOT house your gecko on sand of any sorts, especially babies and young ones! Even if the package says it's safe there is ALWAYS a danger of impaction. Leos do best on solid substrate.
And it's belly heat that is most important for leos to be able to properly digest their food. Air temp means very little. And you have to have a humid hide for an easy shed.
