Hey there ^^

I have this project with the BF of getting a leopard gecko together (I played my cards so well on this one I can barely believe it! ), and I was wondering if anyone out there had a good book about them, tried and trusted.

Thanks in advance :)

M.

I have this one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1882770625

It's a good read :) a few of us on here have them so we can always try and help you :)

If you do get one, my first bit of advice is not to put it on sand/loose substrate as some may request you do. Impaction is a big issue in lizards and can kill :/

That's the book I've got too.
There are lots of caresheets on the internet as well which will give you info.

Thank you both :) I will purchase that book and maybe some others (rather safe than sorry, and I tend to worry quite a lot) and will keep you posted! :)

Hey! :) I figure there's no problem at all placing the gecko in the same room the snake is (after quarantine), right?

No problem. I've got a good old variety of pets and they all live quite happily together.

If you start a new thread more people will see it.
Just ask anything you want to know and we'll try to help.
Best thing is to search the web for caresheets and have a good old read. Then ask any questions you still have.
