The one thing to keep in mind when choosing a leopard gecko for a pet is his living environment. Since their natural environment is a hot, dry desert, leopard geckos don't fare well in humidity. Thus, their cages need to be free from excess moisture, in order to ensure they don't develop debilitating respiratory infections.
Leopard geckos also need to be handled with care, as their tails can actually fall off when they're scared or anxious. They can grow new tails, however it will be smaller and slightly less useful, since a tail-shed is actually a defense mechanism used by leopard geckos to distract predators in the wild!
Feeding your leopard gecko is relatively simple, but like any reptilian pet, you'll need to keep an eye on making sure your pet has a well-balanced diet. Leopard geckos enjoy eating crickets, mealworms, wax worms, and silk worms, and you can ration these out to make some more common items - like crickets and mealworms - his primary dinner, while offering wax or silk worms as a regular treat! You'll also need to supplement your leopard gecko's diet with a calcium powder, which you can coat the meal insects with before feeding times. Also, place a small dish of calcium powder inside the cage.
