Hi, Just got my first pair of leopard geckos and am searching the net for care sheets. I have all the basic info about substrate, humidity box,heat, and food; but have a few more questions: 1) how do I give them water -- dish, spray, nothing? 2)what diseases are they commonly succeptable (sp?) to?
Thanks,

A small dish with water is best for leos, they will lap at it like a cat at night. Watch out for impaction, this happens when a gecko eats the substrate and cannot pass it through its system. Paper towels can fix that issue. I wouldn’t worry about much else, unless your gecko is showing signs of being sick. Hope you enjoy your new pet!

Hey there,
Davecable pretty much has ya covered. It would have been much easier for you if you did thorough research on leos first before you obtained any. (Please don't take as a dis, just the plain-out truth, IT'S EASIER)
Good luck with your new leos. :O)
