Leopard Geckos

Reptiles to a lot of people make very boring pets because they just "sit there" for a lot of the time...but then a fish doesn't do a great deal either! I am personally a huge reptile fan and I'm totally obsessed with one of my latest pets (I have quite a few lol), Whisper the albino leopard gecko. She's about eight months old, coloured like a fruit salad (lol, ok, peachy yellow and a mauve-ish colour) with a big goofy smiley face. Her skin feels gorgeously soft and she quite happily runs up your arms and sits on your shoulder and grins at you with her goofy face. She's just too sweet for words! Leopard geckos are an ideal beginners pet ...  Read the complete review

The Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis Macularius) is a relatively small nocturnal lizard species that is one of the most popular reptiles kept in captivity. It is unique among geckos, as it has eyelids (and can therefore close its eyes). Most Geckos do not have eyelids, and their eyes are permanently open, forcing them to use their tongue to keep their eyes in order. The leopard gecko is a species I have worked with, and in this review, I shall cover some basic husbandry and also give a general overview of having one of these animals for a pet.

I first came across leopard geckos when I met a guy at uni who had about five of them and fell in love with then straight away and when he decided to get rid of one of his geckos as he wanted to buy a new species I was knocking on his door asking if I could buy it and fortunately for me he said yes. I have had my gecko for nearly four years now and I have to say I love him to bits and he is really easy to look after and great fun to have around. Now most people don't really know much about these cute little critters however in my opinion they are one of the easiest pets to keep as they are very low maintenance and although they are quite pricey to ...  Read the complete review
