i MIGHT BUY A LEPORD GECKO BUT I NEED TIPS ON WHAT IT NEEDS2007-11-24 2:01:03

Crickets the proper size should be fed to the leos along with mealworms. Dust all prey before giving it to the leos. Calcium everyother day and vitamins once a week [or at least that's what I do]. Take out all uneaten crickets after your leo[s] are done eating. Thsi prevents crickets chomping on your leo[s] or eating the fecal matter. A dish containing calcium should be in the cage at all times. This allows them to get the calcium if needed. A proper sized water dish is also needed. I use water conditioner for my herps' water to take out all the harmful chemicals in the tapwater. If I used bottled water I do not use it.

Some people have climbs and plants in their cages as well. It's all up to you.

Just remember that housing two males together can be bad news. and housing a male and female together too early can cause unwated eggs and harm the leos themselves in the long run.

Getting the book on Leopard Geckos by Phillipe De Vosjoli would also be a great idea. It's cheap and has a lot of great information in it.

Hope I helped. ;]

Nicole_M did a great reply.

The only differences I have are:

Don't use sand. Impactions happen way too often Newspaper, paper toweling, reptile carpet, tile etc., are good replacements.
