my geckos cant get enough of it all they seem to want to do is come out of the tank at night which is strange as the temp is fine they love being handled i guess i got lucky cos i hear lots of people complaining about there shy leos. im a bit worried though cos they are so keen on coming out to play i dont see them eat alot although you can set your watch by em pooin each evening so they must be eating ,anyway hi everyone first time on this seems like a worthwhile site take care wes

Wow great site and nice wright up! New gecko owner, High Yellow to be exact. Bought our's for my son's 4th birthday and he absolutely loves it! Now 6 months old and getting big. I have grown very attached to our new member of the family =) Oh ya we named it Echo the Gecko......
 
Geckos are a fine addiction, glad to hear you enjoy the gecko as much as your child does.

Its truly a different world of pet owners here, tons of information and experience to draw on from around the world.

Awesome!!! I have a female leopard gecko named Sunny. She is about 8 inches long.

Your life span is also incorrect. They can live upwards of 25 years. There's currently a female named Dink who is 25. Youtube search her. I have a 12 year old female myself who's alive and kicking.

What are you talking about? Leos are easily handled. I routinely have mine out for at least an hour every day and shes fine with it. She actually falls asleep in my hand!

one of mine will do the same. I've had my boy since he was hatched and I started handling him right away. As an adult he's happy to come out anytime. My girl is a little different. I rescued her as an adult and she was never handled until I brought her home. she has made great strides in the last year but she comes out on her terms! Once she's out she's fine with it but it's not for long, she's just a homebody. They are great pets and not just for beginners either.

exactly like mine. my male has been with me as a hatchling and love me. my female rescued as an adult from neglectful owner. comes out on her own terms and doesnt like too much handling.

A Helpful Start

I've read one of the most basic and yet straight to the point, care sheets on leopard geckos. I'm just as confident as before about attaining a gecko, and enduring into what I've read will be a journey of many years with this amazing species.
