Anything for your new leopard gecko

1-2 female leopard geckos can be housed together in a 20-gallon terrarium. If territorial behavior is observed, increase the size of habitat.

Use reptile carpet or tile. Remove droppings at least once a week and thoroughly clean carpet/tile at least every other week.

A leopard gecko's calcium absorption can benefit from supplementary 5.0 UVB light.

Leopard geckos require a temperature gradient. For the warm side, use an under-tank heater and daytime heat lamp, if necessary. Turn heater and lamp off for 12 hours at night. Use the chart, opposite, to ensure proper temperature.

Equip the habitat with two thermometers (one on each side) to measure temperature, and a hygrometer to measure humidity. Mist your gecko, every other day; keep their hideout humid by misting sphagnum moss.

Give your gecko a rock, branches and plant leaves on the cool side for hiding. Add moistened moss to hiding spot on the warm side to aid healthy shedding.
