Check out petsmart.com. They have guides you can buy I think. Or you can look on:

Answer 4

my friend had a gecko and it lived for 8 years! they are generally easy to take care of and handle. you can use an aquarium setting box thing lol, but put sand, a heating rock and a plant and some wood! and you will need a spray bottle to mist the plants to keep it humid and moist. and all you will need to do is get some crickets and bowl of water! good luck these little guys are so much fun to hold and they can be quite the character for little guys!

Answer 5

ok it all depends on the size of the gecko to feed the crickey if its a baby gecko get canned baby gecko food. if its grown feed it regular crickets from the pet store
