After I became a pet owner, I could tell that I needed to work a little harder to create a comfortable environment for my little one. I started going through and looking for a great business that could help out, and I realized that the place down the street had most of the products I needed. They were easy to work with, simple to reach and incredible fun to work with. They also had an amazing product inventory that helped me to create the kind of home my pet deserved. This website is all about understanding pet supplies and getting the right items for your home.

Leopard geckos are great pets. They're fun and sweet, and they don't require a lot of maintenance like most other pets do. These pets can live up to 20 years, so if you're looking for a buddy to be with you for quite some time, then a leopard gecko is the right kind of pet for you. Although these pets aren't exactly high maintenance, they do require love, attention, and care. See below for some tips to help you care for your new pal.
Creating A Habitat
Feeding Your Gecko
Your gecko will feed off of live insects. You can purchase these from your local pet store. Feed your gecko meal worms or crickets. Also give your gecko calcium powder to lick when needed. Keep the feeding dishes shallow enough for your gecko to be able to feed out of. Your gecko should also have plenty of water. The water dish should be cleaned daily and filled often.
Temperature
Geckos hides should be a bit warmer than the rest of the tank, roughly between 88 and 90 degrees. The rest of the tank can be closer to 72 degrees or a bit higher. Be sure to use a thermometer to check the temperature in the tank. Use a heat lamp to help vary the temperature in the tank so your gecko has different temperature areas.
Your gecko will keep you company for a long time, but it needs proper care and attention.
