I agree with the other poster, you should have researched the leopard gecko's size before purchase so that you would not end up with a lizard that it turns out, you can't care for (even if it is a relatively easy-to-care for species such as leopard geckos).



Healthy leopard geckos are typically reach a size around 20-25.5cm (8-10", there are a few who will grow a bit bigger.



For more information on leopard gecko care, I suggest you take a look at the following sites:

And of course, there are many more great sources of info. available on the 'net.
