Leopard Gecko Care Guide
Leopard geckos are docile, ground-dwelling insectivores that thrive at room temperature with a warm hide and calcium dusting.
Leopard geckos are the ideal beginner reptile — docile, compact, and forgiving of minor mistakes. They're ground-dwelling insectivores that need a warm hide (88-92°F), a cool retreat, and critically, a humid hide to support healthy shedding.
