They can't go that long without matience...how would it possibly survive without water? food? misting? lights on/off? You would come home to a gecko that would be very ill, and you probably wouldn't be able to nurse him back.

*Have a good friend watch him.
*Hire a pet sitter
*Ask your local petstores if they offer boarding
*Ask herp knowledgable petstore employees if they are intersted in watching your leopard gecko.
*Call vets and see if they offer boarding for exotics

Be prepared to PAY someone for their services, plus leave money to buy food for the gecko if you don't stock up on mealworms.

Good luck!
