I highly recommend buying Ron Tremper's book The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos. It covers everything you just asked and then some. It's only about $20 on Amazon too!

For simple Husbandry, Ron Tremper offers a free caresheet on his website

For genetics, I have always though GeckosETC has done a superb job of discussing it = just google "Geckos ETC"

There is some decent breeding tips and advice out there, but the best I have seen has been covered in Ron's book.......if you're looking to get into breeding, this book is a must in my opinion.

Sorry I couldn't provide links....Kingsnake mods always erase my messages whenever I post direct links, so I avoided that so you can still see my response.
