Answer 1

You could name him/her spots or stripes if you don't want a human name.  Just put everything out of your mind and think hard.

Answer 2

I would recommend starting out with one, but if you get two just make sure they are both female. You do not want to start out with a breeding pair!

- at least a 20 gallon tank, or two 20 gallons preferably

- substrate: paper towels or slate tile (imo safest substrates but there is much controversy)

- two hides per gecko, one dry and one wet (moss for wet one)

    - You can buy rock hides at a pet store, or use turned over cottage cheese, sour cream, etc. containers with a small entrance cut in them

-Under tank heater, or lamp with 40 watt bulb or both for heat

-thermometer

-shallow water dish, shallow feeding dish

-mealworms or crickets

-calcium powder and vitamin powder (dust crickets and keep a bottle cap of calcium powder in the cage)

Answer 4

It depends on the gender. don't get two males. a male and female pair may fight but two females will be fine. If you get two males or male and female i would recommend separating them most of the year (the male and female pair you put together during breeding season.) If you keep them separate they each need a 20 gallon with heating pad and water dish, plus hides. If you keep them together i would recommend a 40 gallon breeder so they can spread out with heating pads and a water dish, plus plenty of hides.

Answer 5

You will need:

- a glass or plastic cage with at least 10 inch by 10 inch floor space PER gecko. Cage height should be at least 12 inch.

- paper towel for the bottom of the cage. (do not use sand)

- a shallow water dish that won't spill.

- a hide box filled with damp peat moss

- a screen top for your cage

- a thermometer

- heat tape for the bottom of the cage or a heat rock, or a 40 watt light bulb, to keep the daytime temperature around 85F. (as low as 64F at night is fine)

- 4 live food items (like crickets) daily per gecko.

- vitamin-mineral powder to dust the crickets with right before you place them in the cage.

- never more than 1 male in a cage.

- and last but not least, lots of TLC

Best of luck!

Answer 6

Ive always loved the name SNAPPY for a reptile.  

Answer 7

2 20 long tanks. You should never house them together as they are naturally solitary.

reptile carpet.

2 heat lamps w/ tiles.

or 2 heat pads.

You should get heat pads. But you can use a heat lamp. To use a heat lamp you need to go to walmart and buy a clamp lamp from automotive. Then buy any 50-65 watt bulb. Now tile the floor under your warm hide. What this does is it conveys heat ,because leo's need belly heat.

2 warm hides, 2 cool hides, 2 moist hides. (I have a link that shows you how to make moist hides, but you don't want links...)

2 water bowls. The lizard should be able to fit inside of it.

1 calcium supplement w/o d3.

1 calcium supplement w/ d3

1 reptile vitamin

Cricket gut load (use leopard gecko food, or fluckers)

Leopard geckos are motion eaters. they don't eat anything that is still. Because dead things have parasites. If you watch your new leo they will stalk and then seem to give up if the cricket doesn't move.

If you want the link to how to make moist hides I will give it to you. Just post here that you want it. Don't email me I don't use this email address.

Also, Don't use sand or any other loose substrate (the stuff on the bottom of the tank). I have another link about reptile impaction. If you type in leopard gecko sand impaction. there is an autopsy of a leo with sand impaction. The leopard gecko actually finds the sand to be tasty (for lack of a better phrase). The sand then clumps up in it's stomach.

Also never use a heat rock. The heating element tends to heat the rock unevenly which causes burns, and that isn't good. When we touch something we feel the heat right away so we can move our hand. We have a thin layer of skin. and our heat sensors are much closer to the surface of our skin. the scales of a leopard gecko are thicker. And the heat sensors are farther away. The leo may not feel the heat until a second or two later.
