Hey Em, I think your best bet would just be to research through some caresheets. There are many websites that can be found on here (obviously), and most of them have caresheets, so I would just start going through them, taking down the sources, and finding what info you'd like to use

Why dont you Google "leopard gecko" and you will have all that
info in about 5 minutes!

What do they eat: Crickets, mealies, silkworms, dubia roaches, locusts, and mostly anything that they can get their mouths on:main_laugh:.

Lol if you want to use that pic, you're more than welcome to as the first page(introductory) or some other part. Good luck on the PP!

It's a lot of info to type up, just look at some caresheets, they're all over the place :main_yes:

Their scientific name is Eublepharis macularius, unlike most geckos, they have blinking eyelids, so they don't have to lick their eyes to clean them. They live in the dry deserts of the middle East (Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India), in burrows, under rocks and in crevices, only coming out at night (when it's not soo hot) to look for food (crunchy bugs). As pets, they are very easy to take care of. They need a hot spot of 90 degrees F to digest their food properly, and fresh water at all times. They also need a humidity "fort" filled with damp moss or coconut fiber to help them shed their skin. When they're growing, they shed their skin alot more than when they're full grown. Also, they poop in one spot, just like cats with their litter boxes. And like dogs, they have been specially bred for fancy colors/patterns, size, personality, etc. They are really sweet creatures!

hi emily,

i would also recomend using google and looking up some caresheets.

its true everyone here is a gecko nerd and we like talking about geckos, but it does seem like you are trying to get people to do your work for you.

good luck!

 

[bubblez825]

No Im not having people do the work for me, but I'd rather get info from people I know know what they are talking about from personal experience, ect. than people i dont know therefore dont trust ot give me true/healthy leo info .

You may want to check out some of sites of the breeders that you trust here, and look over their care sheets and information. I know that some of them have some really good care sheets and information.

Here is a care sheet that I like to recommend to new leo owners.

Yeah I think you could find all that info on the websites posted here thats what I did when I needed it for a class project. Check out Marcia's care sheet on leos it has tons of info.
