To raise a lepord gecko, you need to have a good sized cage, climbing activity, a wet box, a cricket bowl, cricket calcium, crickets from PET STORES, a daylight bulb, a nocturnal bulb (you should have the day light bulb placed in at 9am or earlier until 7:50pm, and that's when you place the night bulb in)., a cricket cage.

You will need a tank-Small if young, large if older. Substrate (floor covering) Fine Sand (never sharp grained play sand) or wood chipping for older geckos, newspaper for young geckos (not cut up, one piece cut to size of bottom of tank). Hiding places - You can buy special little caves or hidey-holes for them at pet stores. It will need at least two of these. A water bowl will be needed - a shallow dish deep enough to drink from, but shallow enough so a cricket won't drown in it. For younger geckos, half fill a washed out coke-bottle lid (never sharp beer lids). One of the most important thing you need is a heat mat. This is an under-tank heater that can be bought in reptile stores. These are generally quite cheap. They need to be plugged in 24/7 and must only cover half of the tank. The gecko needs a cool area too! (be sure not to make the substrate too thick, or the heat won't get through). Geckos are carnivores (don't worry, you won't need to feed it steaks!) So they need live food. I feed mine crickets, which can be purchased from most pet stores, and all reptile stores. You can also feed them locusts, mealworms, wax worms (as an occasional treat) Adult Geckos will occasionally enjoy a live pinky mouse as a treat (please note this is illegal in the UK). You can also catch some wild insects, including moths, roaches, hairless caterpillars. Insects will need to be fed before being fed to the gecko, otherwise they offer no nutritional value. Feed them fruit and veg, and also give them water.

Sorry, this supplies list turned in to a bit of an instruction manual!

A leopard gecko needs a 10 gallon cage, a heat lamp with a red light, a heating pad, sand, a large water dish to bathe in, two huts for each side of the cage, and something with a rough surface to help it shed. There are many other necessities that you can get for a leopard gecko, but these are the main items that you will need
