hey there, geckos do need a heat pad since they are noctural and don't usually enjoy basking in the open light and require the heat on their bellies for proper digestion. You could buy a reptile heat pad but they're expensive, i use a human heat pad and check on the temps every once and a while.
And leopard geckos are easy to tame with age, although each gecko has different personalities.
good luck
