my old one died and i wanted to try to keep another safely.

I'm very sorry for your loss, maybe you could explane how your gecko died, and we can help you correct the problem so when you are ready to get another one the same thing dosent happen.

well its very hard to see how it died, all i know is that it was fine one day, then the next day, it had spots that were large over its body of dried red skin, it was in pain and what i think could of caused it were: colored newsprint, sphagnum looking moss from outside that was baked and washed, and it was about to shed and it was in a loose t-shirt like skin that i peeled of and fed to my leo, garry. please let me know what i did wrong! i want a leo to be happy and live long in my home!):

First ask for one of the publications on leopard geckos. Read it and then do a nice summary report on it. Present this to your parents and promise to follow in detail what you have learned.

ok ill try that

You can post up your summary up here and we can make sure you have everything covered! also include how "educationl" it would be, use BIG words, for example explane how geckos are ectotherms and thats why they need a heat lamp, and use their scientific name as much as possible ect...
