I just found a Leopard Gecko listed online at a local shelter... and am very tempted. I have never owned one before, so I was wondering if anybody had any advice if I were to adopt him?
I already have a tank, food and water dishes, and a log hide (might need to get a bigger one). Per Leopard Gecko care sheets online, I only need to buy another heat bulb and heat lamp.... and of course food (crickets, mealworms, etc.). Substrate recommended is paper/paper towels, or the like... not sand.
Anything else I am missing?
Thanks!
Also, have you found it true that the will only eat and/or prefer live food only?
