I have a 4 year old leopard gecko,lets just say I was pretty young when I got her and no one in my family had much experience with geckos. I researched what I thought was enough but boy was I wrong. How many hideouts do I need? What brands of hideouts do you recommend? How hot should it get at the most and least? How much should I feed her? (she's about 8 inches) Do I need a calcium bowl if I put the calcium powder on the crickets? How often should I clean the tank? I think my lizard is bored and we have an old about 88 gallon tank and I thought she would be happy in there. I definetly need to get more of a variety of toys, but I also was thinking about getting another female lizard? Thoughts?

Thx so much!!! Sorry for all the questions! :)

Welcome to GF. Good questions. I'm sure someone will respond here with the answers, but I think your best bet is to read a care sheet. Here's mine (this is what I'd say in response but I've already said it in my care sheet and it will save me a lot of typing):

Thanks so much but because my gecko has had sand for the last 4 years she loves digging like its almost all she does, I was thinking using that reptile carpet thing for most of the tank and a little section of sand so Miwah can dig, would this b ok?
