Buy a Leopard Gecko in the UK
When buying a Leopard Gecko, choose a captive-bred animal from a reputable breeder. The gecko should have a plump tail (their fat reserve), clear eyes, clean skin with no stuck shed, and be alert and responsive when gently handled. Avoid geckos with thin tails, visible bones, or missing toes (which can indicate poor husbandry). Ask about the gecko's age, sex, and morph. Set up the vivarium with correct heating (warm side 28-32°C, cool side 22-25°C) and a moist hide before bringing your gecko home.

Temperament
Leopard Geckos are docile, calm, and generally tolerant of gentle handling. They are nocturnal (active at night) and crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk). While not social with other geckos, they can become accustomed to their owners and may approach for food. They rarely bite and are suitable for responsible older children and beginners.
