Helpful tips about leopard geckos

1) NEVER EVER PUT SAND IN THEIR TANKS!!!
2) if you feed them wax worms they will get addicted to them and they will become overweight and could possibly perish
3) feed the crickets before you put them in your leopard geckos tank
4) always! Have calcium available for your gecko to consume in their tank
5) don't hold them until they have been introduced to their tank for 38 hours
6) have a warm side to their tank and a cold side to their tank
7) remember that they are cold blooded so they can't produce any heat if their cold
8) never peel off their skin let them learn how to do it. You can guid them but don't do it for them
9) if there is left over skin on their toes, that skin can cut off the blood circulation to their toes, and their toes will fall off. The way to get the skin off is to either fill a container with an half of an inch of warm bottled water and put your leopard gecko into it for only 3 minutes, just to moisten that skin so that you can pull it off.
10) make sure the temperature of the tank is at least 80 degrees during the daytime and at least 70 at night.
11) geckos love crickets, but not too many
12) even if you don't have a male leopard gecko in your tank with your female, the female still will lay eggs. (They will not hatch if they are not fertilized by a male)
13) never put anything sharp or rough in their tank. They have very fragile skin that can be cut easily
14) I do not recommend children under the age of 7 to hold your gecko. They are very fragile creatures and unless the child understands that than i wouldn't let them hold it.
15) never put your cage underneath a window, there can be a draft that comes threw it and the gecko can die from climate change in their tank.
16) if you put the leopard geckos water bowl underneath the heat lamp, all of the water can evaporate quicker than you think it can.
17) if you put the mealworms underneath the heat lamp then the mealworms will turn into Beatles faster than if they were on the cool side of your tank.
18) clean your water bowl with hot water every other day because water forms algae that you can't see on the sides of the bowl.
19) if you want to go away on vacation and you won't be home for a couple of days than you can buy a water dripper. This will provide water for your gecko for a couple of days.
20) NEVER EVER! Buy a leopard gecko from Pet Supplies Plus! They do not take care of their leopard geckos at all, if you buy it from there, you will wake up the next day and find it dead.
