  1. Try craigslist.com.  

    People sometimes move and can't take their pets with them, or just find that they're too much of a responsibility for them to handle, so they list them on there for reeeally cheap adoption fees of like 15 dollars.  

    Just check the listings for your area and see if anyone is trying to give theirs away.  

    Good luck :)  


  2. pet-co- $27.00 each

    i bought 2 about a month and a 1/2 now and are very Healthy

    buy crickets at petland  discounts $1.75 for 20 small

  3. you dont necessarily want to go cheap, cheap can mean havent been looked after and you are buying from half arsed breeders, just type leopard geckos for sale in ..... wherever you live then it should bring up a couple of local reptile places

  4. Buy the cheapest one you can find and it will die within a few weeks no matter how well you look after it.  Don't be tight, buy a decent priced animal and it will live for a long time with the right care.  Scrimp on it and you only have yourself to blame for the lizard becoming ill.

    I hate it when people want to get the cheapest stuff possible for pets.  Spend the money and treat them properly and get yourself an animal that has been well looked after before you take it on.

  5. Reptile expos are best they have a lot of variety for a very good price.

    Also many online websites have good leos for cheap.

  6. If you are in england it would be:

    www.exotic-pets.co.uk   £38.70

    www.888reptiles.co.uk   £39.49

    Or from me ..£30 males each or £35 for females Here is a care sheet for you..

    The Leopard Gecko

    A Leopard Gecko looks like........

    They have small bumps all over the body with the underside being smooth. Their tail is very fat to confuse predators in the wild, not knowing which is the head or tail. If the predator attacks the tail, the gecko drops this and then runs for cover to escape. They do grow their tails back, but they never look as nice! Adult Geckos can reach a size of 250mm (9") and weight from 50-100 grams.

    Leopard Geckos now range in a number of different morph, here are just a few: normal, high yellow, leucistic and albino.

    Leopard Geckos are from?

    They are found in dry, rocky areas from eastern Iran through Afghanistan and Pakistan to northwestern India.

    This species needs a temperature of 28-32C (82-90F) at the warm end of the viv, the cool end should be around room temperature. Heating the viv can be maintained with a heat mat or a basking lamp connected to a thermostat. The humidity needs to be dry within the viv, with an exception of a humidity hide. This hide will help the geckos to shed their old skin and must be kept humid at all times.

    Leopard Geckos are easy to keep...

    Yes, this one of the easiest species of lizard to care for.

    Geckos can be kept on their own or will live happily together - this being one male to several females. Males will fight to the death and should always be kept separate!

    Geckos are terrestrial, meaning they need more floor space rather then height. UV lights can be used, but some people choose not too, due to this species being nocturnal. Use a heat mat or basking lamp for heat, as described above connected to a thermostat. The best substrate to use for adult leopard geckos is children's play sand. If you have a young gecko, it's best to place these on paper towel to prevent impaction, until they are approx. 6 inches long. Impaction means that the gecko has eaten the substrate and cannot pass it - causing illness! Plenty of hides should be placed throughout the viv and depending on how many geckos are housed together, at least 1 humidity hide.

    A varied diet of insects should be offered, with the odd pinkie (baby mouse). For young and juvenile Geckos, feed approx. 5-15 crickets every day with the appropriate sized food. Adults can be fed every other day on 2-8 crickets, once a month try feeding a small pinkie. Any uneaten food should be removed, crickets can injury your Gecko while sleeping. You will find that your Gecko loves wax worms, only feed as treats as these are high in fat.

    Hope i helped =]

  7. Well the cheapest is to catch one but it is much better to get one from a good seller
