| | Leopard gecko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Leopard Geckos are widely considered to be a very good pet for a beginning herpetologist for several reasons: their small size, ease of care, cleanliness (they defecate in one corner of their enclosure), long life span (up to 30 years), and wide color range. | | | Leopard geckos feed almost exclusively on live insects. | | | It is important to note that all insects feed to a leopard gecko need to be 'gut loaded'. |

| | Leopard Gecko Care Sheet |
| | Young leopard geckos have narrower digestive systems than adults, and it is easier for their system to become blocked if they consume sand. | | | Both geckos were able to pass the sand in their digestive systems, but the heavily impacted gecko required numerous doses of mineral oil down its throat and up the other end. | | | I have heard of female leopard geckos as small as 25-30 grams laying eggs, but breeding at this size is often too stressful and can cause health problems, in addition to reducing the female's lifetime reproductive potential. |

| | Leopard Gecko Care |
| | Leopard geckos are relatively easy to feed because they will thrive on insects. | | | Leopard geckos are a nocturnal species so no form of UV lighting is necessary. | | | Insects can be coated with these supplements and it's always a good idea to feed the insects a high quality diet so as to "gut-load" them and increase their nutritional value. |

| | The Gecko Spot---Leopard Gecko Health |
| | It is quite common for leopard geckos to reduce their food intake over the colder months, some even enter into brumation (reptile equivalent of hibernation) and eat virtually nothing. | | | Impaction of the gut can be caused by ingestion of substrate, ingestion of food that is too big, or by parasites. | | | If your leopard gecko drops its tail (as shown in the photo opposite, photo courtesty of Helen), it is important to determine the cause and make sure that the gecko will no longer be stressed. |

| | Leopard Gecko Care |
| | The leopard gecko can grow up to 12 inches, but average is about 8. | | | The gecko also loses its fat and water storage when the tail is dropped, so if this occurs, keep the broken area clean along with its terrarium while the gecko regenerates the tail, keep the gecko on paper towels since that sand could seriously irritate and infect the broken area. | | | Any bark chips can be potentially deadly to your gecko because they can ingest it while going for their food and their gut will get impacted, which can lead to death. |

| | Most geckos have sticky toe pads, composed of microscopic Velcro-like hooked bristles (called setae) on the bottom of the feet; the bristles allow them to climb well, even on smooth surfaces or upside down. | | | They eat mostly insects (like crickets, springtails, and cockroaches) and mealworms, but they also eat young birds, eggs, and tiny mammals, hunting for their prey at night. | | | The eggs are soft at first, but harden quickly. |
