Check out some of the other topics like general care and housing. There are a ton of great tips there.

You can also take a look at the Leopard Gecko Care Sheet on my website for answers to your basic questions!

Paper towels may not be the most attractive substrate, but they're the most recommended and safest. If you plan on using sand you should wait til your geckos have reached adulthood and use a fine-grain sand. As for tank ornaments, they can be as simple as cardboard toilet paper rolls or as sophisticated as ceramics. Be creative!:main_yes:
For heating I would recommend under-tank heat pads. It is not required that you have any special lighting or anything (you don't even have to have any lighting at all since leopard geckos are nocturnal).
Good Luck!:main_thumbsup:
