Bothell Leopard Gecko Guide
The Gecko is located in many warm climates around the world.
Gecko's can be uncovered in a variety of warm areas, they are wide spread, pose no risk to humans and are quite adaptable.
They do not mind the presence of humans and will live comfortably with humans.
There are approximately 750 species of these fine lizards , that are broken into 4 sub categories, Eublepharinae, Sphaerodactylinae, Diplodactylinae and lastly Gekkoninae.
Geckos can be located easily as pets and make a nice component to a lizard collection. The best choice for you is a captive bread example.
The price ranges from $20 to as high as $3000. Sizes range from 3-4 inches for new babies and up to 12 inches for some of the giants. The common size of most adult geckos is 8 inches.
The life of a gecko can be as long as 20 years or more in captivity. The sort of care is deterministic of these long life spans.
A happy gecko is a long lived one. Once the decision to keep a gecko has been made, getting elementary suggestions about how to accommodate and care for it is basic to make sure it is a decent encounter for the gecko and its caretaker.
Now that you have picked your gecko, created its accommodations, set up its nutritional needs, and let it get comfortable, it is time to get acquainted. So in general, be sure not to hold your geckos on a regular basis until they settle in for a few days and are at least 6 inches in length.
One farewell note about gecko handling basics. When your gecko is large enough, it is best to have a seat on the floor, and let your gecko to crawl around through your loose fingers hand-over-hand for 10 to 15 minutes per day until acclimated to the touch.
This process takes around seven days. do not, ever hold the gecko’s tail, or it might be dropped, though quite often it will grow back in less than 45 days.
My recommendation to start with is a leopard gecko. You can go on to collect other types later on.
The Leopard Gecko is very robust and easy to care for as long as you do care for it. Leopards are very popular and you can usually find them in any reputable pet store. I happen to think that leopard geckos are some of the most beautiful lizards on earth.
