· A 10 to 20 Gallon tank with a
secure lid. Bigger if you are breeding.
· Calci Sand, cage carpet, or
desert litter for substrate.
· Under tank heating pad.
· Hide box, cork bark, or something
to hide in.
· Shallow water bowl.
· Shallow bowl for dusted regular mealworms.

A
dozen hatchling leopard geckos will comfortably live in a twenty gallon
aquarium, it is not recommended that u put more than 3 geckos in a 20 gallon
aquarium as for the will grow. Although they do not have adhesive toe-pads, a
secure lid is still essential to keep spiders, or any insect away from your
gecko. Never house 2 males together, only 1 male and the rest females
· Calci-sand, desert litter, or cage
carpet are al good substrate for leopard geckos larger than 6 inches long,
smaller geckos should have paper towels as substrate. Avoid anything that might
cause chokes and impactions. The sand recommended by Psyco & Gang is
Calci-sand or Bone-Aid.
· An undertank heater is the most
appropiate manner of heating leopard geckos. They should have a warm end in the
mid 90 degrees, while the cool end can reach the mid 70’s.
· Juvenile leopard geckos need a lot
of strusture to hide. They should have hide areas on both the warm and cool end
of the cage. Avoid having the water bowl in the warm end of the cage, directly
above the heat pad, it will heat the bowl or evaporate the water.
· Use a light over the tank,
although it is not nessesary
· Use humid hide area with damp moss
if any shedding problems are noticed. If the shed can’t get off the gecko spray
him with warm water and rub it softly where the skin is stuck.
· Crickets can also be fed, as long as they are no larger than half the size of the gecko’s head.
· A shallow dish with clean water should always be available.
· Is good idea to spray down the geckos and their enviroment.
