hello! my name is jeffrey howell and im 13 years old from ohio! ive spent the last 2 years researching an learning all i can about leopard geckos, crested geckos and bearded dragons. I have a 17 month old high yellow leopard gecko named Leo who i rasied from an egg. he lives in a natural 75 gallon aquarium by himself with shelf liner as a substrate. he has calcium dishes, water dishes and perfect temps so u dont need to worry (i know all about what im doing). he gets 2-4 mealworms always available and about 2-3 crickets every other day. i also have a crested gecko named spike whos 18 months old (also raised from an egg) and a 2 1/2 month old bearded dragon named Charlie who i got from KDRKreatures. i also have 2 cats and a dog. i wuld say more but i have some stuff to do so i hope i can help all u out any way possible in this forum!

Just messing with you! Welcome Jeff, what Nevin is trying to say is there are lots of viewpoints about what is best for leos. There are going to be debates...don't take anything personally, I have been known to "debate" on many subjects 
We also like pictures here...so post some when you get a chance. Oh yeah, do a thread search if you are looking for info, that way you don't get an earful for asking a question someone probably asked the day before.
Hey Nevin is it just me or has your collection grown since this past summer?
6 poison dart frogs, and a green tree python!! soon to be a green anaconda, and burmese python in october!!!! hahahaha

thank u 4 the welcomes! anyway, to answer yur question, i got him as an egg from a reputable breeder that my uncle knows and he gave me the egg and i incubated it and raised it. same thing happened with the crested gecko.it really isnt that hard to raise them, u just need to know wat yur doing!
but with leos, cresteds, and beardies, you really dont need to know what your doing.hahahahahahaha. there soo easy to breed, thats why those 3, and ball pythons are ussually the first choice of first time breeders.
