I'm thinking about getting a Leopard Gecko, and wanted to know the basics. I have been keeping Chameleons for ten years, and consider myself advanced when it comes to them. But with Leopards I have no clue.

Can anyone recommend any sites that list the basics and maybe a little more?

thanks!

just do a search on google for
leopard gecko "care sheet" and there will be like 5 pages of results with caresheets of leos.

Housing:
10 gallon for 1 gecko
use a paper towel, newspaper, or astro turf substrate
have a water dish
a calcium dish
2 hides
keep hot side 90 degrees and cool side 80 degrees

feeding:
as babies feed gutloaded crickets or gutloaded mealies
as adults you can feed gutloaded crickets, mealies, supers, or silkworms
