Anything special I should know?
Not really, both can be kept pretty much the same way except AFT's like to have higher humidity. Here's a care sheet I've been working on for Leopards. It might help you out.
Eublepharis macularius
Common name: Leopard Gecko
Care Level: Easy
Size: Hatchlings 3-4", Adults 7-10", Giant Morphs 10-12"
Temperature Range: Warm end 86-90˚F, cool end 72-75˚F.
Humidity: 30%. A moist hide should be provided for the aid in shedding.
Origin: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India and parts of Iran.
Temperament: Babies and juveniles are skittish but adults calm down with daily brief handling of 5-10 minutes.
Diet: Vitamin/calcium dusted mealworms, roaches, phoenix worms and crickets. Wax worms can be given as a treat a few times a month. Remember to gut load food first.
Narrative: One of the best beginner lizard species out there, leopard geckos are very easy to care for, friendly and hardy. With proper care this species can easily live to be 15-20 years old.
One adult can be housed in a 10 gallon but that can be pretty cramped and it's hard to create a good temperature gradient. A 20 gallon long would be a much better choice and you could even keep a pair in that sized tank. 10 gallons of space is recommended per gecko. If keeping multiple geckos together make sure that they are not both males because they will fight. You can keep females together. Leopard geckos are easy to breed and prolific so if you keep a male and female together there is a very good chance they will mate and lay eggs.
There are many options for a heating source. One that is highly recommended is the use of an Under Tank Heater. This should be attached to the under side of the tank on the warm end. A digital temperature probe is a good thing to buy to test how warm your hot/cool end is. If you need additional heat a red heat bulb or ceramic heat emitter can help with that. Remember that leopard geckos are nocturnal so they don't like harsh strong lighting. UVB lighting that is needed by most day time species is not necessary for leopard geckos because they receive all the vitamins they need from their dusted food in captivity. Never use heat stones to heat your cage! They can easily become too hot and burn your gecko.
You can go two different routes for substrate in the enclosure. Paper towels, news paper or butcher paper are a safe choice to use and are easy to remove when dirty but look very unnatural. Reptile carpet is a bad choice. It can be a breeding ground for bacteria, it holds urea from the gecko waste and smells. You also have to worry about it fraying and the gecko ingesting it by accident. It can get caught on the gecko's toe nails too and has been known to cut off circulation to the toes as well. A more natural look is the use of Ceramic Tiles, Slate, and Sand. Ceramic tiles/slate are easy to remove and clean and hold/distribute heat evenly. Sand is a substrate with mixed reviews. It can be used on adults but should be avoided with babies and juveniles as it can cause impaction in small animals. Screened play sand is the type you should use. Avoid calcium sand and most reptile sands that you come across in pet stores. You can pick up a cheap bag of play sand at most home improvement stores. Just make sure you screen out any large particles from it first. If you chose to use sand make sure to change the area where the geckos relieve themselves to help keep down on odors. To avoid impaction from your geckos eating sand make sure to provide a dish of calcium powder or dust the food in it. A healthy gecko should have no problem passing sand if it happens to ingest some during feeding.
Your tank should have at least 3 hides. One on the cool end and one the warm end. It's recommended that each gecko have it's own warm and cool hide if you are keeping multiple geckos in a setup. A moist hide should be provided to help aid in shedding. It can be as simple as a Tupperware container with a hole cut in the side filled with moist paper towels or moss. You can use ceramic tiles and slate stacked and propped up for additional hides. Just be sure that they are secure so they can not fall and injure or kill your gecko.
Leopard geckos are mainly ground dwelling lizards but they will take advantage of rocks and branches for climbing on. Fake plants or live succulents can also be used as long as they don't have any thorns. Make sure to provide a water dish at all times. Even though they are from an arid region, they do like to drink water daily.
