When i first got my leoparad gecko i knew nothing and still dont kno much about him. But wat i have found w/ my own is that he seems to be relaxing with just a few hiding spots and crickets r the only on his diet. Also i have never really gut loading or powdered the crickets and he has lived and is still living for 6 years!!!!! but for chameleons, a much harder pet, i am going to be dedicated on learning and taking care of 1
