Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A local shop has a pair of leopard lizards that I would like to get. I can't find any information on their care. Any information on temp., humidity, substrate, food, breeding, etc. will be of great help. This petshop has a bad habbit of letting its reptiles die, I don't what that to happen, but without proper care they are just as likely to pesrish if I took them home. Thank you.

...on them. My sister just got one and I had to find info on them for her. I used google.com and typed in leopard gecko care. There is quite a bit of info sheets out there, and you can go to the leopard gecko forum and ask there. They would be a lot more help.

Good luck, pet store people can be a little hard headed.

They are leopard lizards (Gambelia wislizenii)or one of the subspecies, not a leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius).

He has a pair, and has been doing extremely well with them. You can also find some great help on the chuckwalla forum. A few people over there can give you plenty of advice too. IN all honesty though, I think all conditions and requirements will be identical to collareds...they are very similar in everyhing that I can think of.

In a nutshell...

100-105 basking site
sand substrate
UVB light supplementation
supplement foods with calcium and vitamims
plenty of floor space...minimun 30 long

food...will eat crickets, superworms, pinkies, and other lizards with a smile on their face.

I missed that "minor" detail. Sorry...I just have leopard geckos on my mind. Maybe that's a subliminal message telling me I need to get one. Who knows!?! Sorry for my mistake.

my brother has a leopard gecko, but he took it outta his cage 2 nights ago and let it walk around on his bed and now he cant find it... he thinks it crawled underneath the floorboard in his closet..

my brother found his lizard today, missing for 4 days, he picked up and blanket outta his closet and his little leopard gecko fell out of it, hes really skinny but he should be ok
