Leopard gecko?? Nope!

blind · #1 06-18-2008, 07:15 PM

Well I was directed here by a member of another forum I visit.

So 2 days ago I was on craigslist and someone had a post selling
a leopard gecko, I bought it and I was concerned that it was sick
or something because it was so tiny!

anyways, I posted and it turns out it's a Banded Gecko!
So I need some help..

Is there a caresheet I can be directed to?

I have had a leopard gecko for about 2 years now,
is there a big difference in caring for them?

That's a pretty banded gecko you have there! Sorry I'm no help on the identifying; I just wanted to throw the compliment your way.

Coleonyx variegatus ssp. - really similar to a leo in care. they're native to the deserts of the south west.

no prob. neat little geckos, but more delicate than a leopard.

Yup, I've read that much!
I think I pretty much have it down on how to care for it

I guess it's a little on the better side that it WASN'T a leo,
cos I get to learn about these now

learning is a good thing
