My Setup

As recommended, the habitat for Leopard Geckos should be complete before bringing new pets home. Here is what I chose to house my new baby leopard geckos:

















Cage:
1o.5 inch diameter HerpHaven. This was a temporary home while the Leos were still very small.


Substrate:
Paper Towels - Cheap, easy to clean, safe


Heating:

• 75 watt clamp lamp
• 50 watt infrared heat bulb - Leos do not need UV and UVB lighting. Infrared heat bulbs provide heat without giving off light that will disturb the geckos at night.
• Two stick on thermometers - one for hot end of cage and one for cool end.
• Electronic Reptile Temperature controller - will turn off heat when set temperature has been reached.
  
  

Accessories:

• Small ceramic feeding dish
• Small ceramic water dish
• Toilet paper tube cut in half for hide
• Butter tub with hole cut in top and side for a moist hide - to aid in shedding.
  
  

Feeding:

• Small crickets (live)
• Cricket Food/gutload
• Cricket Keeper- to house and gutload crickets before feeding
• Mini Meal worms (live)
• Leopard Gecko dust - contains vitamins, minerals, and calcium to dust onto crickets before feeding
