So I was originally under the impression that I was going to get Crested Geckos, but I went to the petstore just to hold them and get a general idea of what i was getting myself into and found myself in love with the leopard geckos instead....(this is why it's best to do your research, and not just on the internet and in books lol) so I've read up on their care and diet and such but have a few questions for anyone who currently owns one. (also, i do indeed have an account on geckotalk.com, i just like asking my questions on both sites so that i get a range of opinions and facts - I tend to learn more that way.)
1.) Anyone who owns Leopard Geckos, I would love it if you could give me an in depth list of all items used to make your enclosure. Since my gecko will be a baby, about as long as my index finger, i will be starting with a 10gal tank. I would like to be taught about substrate options and heating (ex. under-tank heater or bulb?), including which temperatures you find best suited.
2.) About how much do you spend on mealworms/ crickets a month? (estimate please?) If you aren't sure about the price then could you possibly estimate the amount of mealworms that are eaten per month? (crickets are so cheap that I'm not even factoring that into a budget lol)
3.)How often do you mist your Leopard Geckos? I don't want mine to get too dry, though I plan on having a water dish obviously.
Preemptive thank you's for any answers!
