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!
