Tweetwe have a leopard gecko. he is 10 years old. I didnt think they lived this long.
super easy maint. put playground sand in a 10 gallon aquarium. something they can hide in. a heat source for winter. water bowl and you are done.
we got ours to eat "canned crickets" they will stay good in the fridge for about 2 weeks. we use large forceps to give them to them because when feeding his aim is poor and they bite hard at his size.
ours poops in 1 corner and just scoop it out. we change the sand once every 8 months or so. they don't dig or climb, they are quiet and don't stink like a guinea pig. they are more fragile if squeezed due to their small size. and they obviously show no emotion. they will out live a guinea pig i think. we used to take him outside to wander around. they are not super fast like many geckos.
