Howdy from Oregon!

Howdy! Well, the title says it, I'm an Oregonian. I've started doing research on leopard geckos, and a few months from now I'd like to adopt or buy a leopard gecko. The more I learn about them (though basic it is) the more excited I get! I'm more of a tarantula/snake person (though I don't have any currently) and never really gave leopards much thought until recently when I was drawing one (doing some reptile sketch studies for fun).

In the past I've kept a couple red tail boas, a couple baby T's (my BFF has them now), and some roach colonies. I love giant hissers, they're so wonderful <3

Anyway, I hope to talk to some of y'all in the near future, and any advice on leopard geckos would be appreciated!

Welcome to GF! It's interesting the different ways that people get interested in geckos. You may want to check out the on-line magazine Gecko Time - Archives - Gecko Time - Gecko Time (full disclosure - I'm the editor) which has many articles about leopard geckos.

Welcome! I can't say enough about getting started with healthy animals and getting down the basic care and feeding. Leopard geckos are very easy to take care of when you get the basics right, but a lot of people just don't get that down and then run into issues.

I love this caresheet for its simplicity.
