"I've read around 30 care sheets out there but not all info. is reputable and information is sometimes contradictory. If anyone can post some "good" links, I'd appreciate it."



There are some topics about which there is some legitimate debate, but most care sheets will agree on the basics. One site I generally like is:



www.drgecko.com/



Some good topics (but read the whole site):



On quarantining a new gecko and fecal exams: www.drgecko.com/quarantine.htm



What a fecal exam is and how to collect a good sample:

www.drgecko.com/fecalexams.htm



The importance of veterinary care, how to find a vet, the costs, and what information you should provide to a good vet:

www.drgecko.com/veterinary.htm



All about proper temperature: www.drgecko.com/heating.htm



The drgecko site is even more conservative than I am, recommending 3 separate fecal tests on new geckos! (a fecal exam will typically cost between $10 and $25, fyi -- the faster you catch problems, the easier they are to solve, reducing the chance of a dead gecko.



A responsible person won't go too wrong following the advice on this site!
