They are great pets, and very easy to keep. Similar to how my skinks like to be kept, so if you need temps/light suggestions feel free to message. They eat the same as my skinks too.
Its good to offer variety as for bugs goes: Crickets Hoppers aka: Locust and MorioWorms or actually the smaller ones for leaopards Mealworms.
Some people say it's fine but avoid waxworms ( they are like crack for lizards, highly fattening and they get addicted and refuse to eat anything else)
With leopard geckos I see people make them a humid hide with moss, so yeh thats all I can say. Any specific questions feel free to message me :D
but yes they are a great lizard and most say they are a good starter lizard.
Thanks for the info, I was looking to get one next payday.
I had an iguana before, he was about 6ft long I think. We had to give him to the local pet store because we moved to a place that didn't have enough place for his tank.
