Hi! I already own a baby beardie but I am planing on getting a leopard gecko from a reptile expo (can't adopt due to no reptile rescues/adoptions
Can someone tell me the basic care needs for them? I already know most things, I just need to make sure my information is correct because the Internet loves to lie.
Here are things that I already know:
Leopard geckos are strictly insectivores
Needs UVB
Needs UTH
Doesn't climb
Is solitary
Aren't as cuddly as bearded dragons but are docile once they warm up to you
AREN'T HOUSE GECKOS
They're nocturnal
They can drop their tails
Adult/juvi leopard geckos should be housed in a 15-20Gal enclosure
They don’t need uvb and they like to climb. You can get by with 2 hides (cool and moist together) but I use 3. UTH is good. You can feed insects every other day. Keep a water bowl in the tank along with a 3:1 calcium to multivitamin bowl. What are your specific questions?

This post is quite old (not really) and I'm no longer getting a Leo since I have a Mexican red knee turantula now thank you though! Ill tell my friend who wants a leopard gecko this info.
Actually, If it is not on for too long the Gecko can actually benefit from the UVB. It Would be a bit safer to at least offer some UVB. I recommend a Arcadia tube bulb for them. IMO the UVB is a bit essential.
