FS '09 Juvenile Leopard Geckos

[Vicious_Fish]

Ok Vicious, exactly what is involved keeping these little guys....are they kid friendly? My son and daughter just saw me looking at your pics of them and are oooooooo mommying me. What size tank/enclosure....etc. I have never had anything other than dogs, fish, snails, and shrimp.

They're super easy to care for. You could keep 1 gecko in a 10 but it's kind of tight when they reach adulthood. A 20 gallon long would be better and you could even keep a pair in that size tank.

Here's a care sheet I wrote up on them that answers most of the questions you probably have on their care. Feel free to ask me anything I may have missed.

My son has been asking for a lizard tank for months now too!! I have NEVER seen geckos like these before. I read up on the care sheet, but still uncertain. And how would you ship a gecko anyway??

These guys are great beginner lizards to keep. Check out the same link above. I ship them overnight from the USPS. That means if I ship one Wednesday afternoon you should get it the next day sometime.

Nice geckos! It wont be for a while-probably next summer sometime, maybe longer-but I really want to get some geckos again. Not sure if I'll do leopards or cresteds (both? ), but I'll have to look you up when I'm ready to get more geckos.

Look me up. I'm slowly getting out of breeding leopard geckos and switching to cresteds. But I still will have a few breeder leopard geckos next season.

Bump.

Those are some beautiful geckos. I had one for about 5 years then had to get rid of her when I moved. She was my buddy. (for people contemplating getting one) If you acclimate them to you and your family they will hang out where you put them. Mine used to hang out on my shoulder while I played GTA!

I still have quite a few left if anyone is interested.
