I think it's a great idea to have a section for that, but I doubt if you'll get folks becming members before they buy their first gecko. However, I'm sure plenty of them become members just afterwards, so maybe a great big newbie section would be good. Maybe it's already covered in the caresheet section, I don't know.
actually i just became a member today because iamintorested in buying a crestie, but i came here to find out all the info i need befor ei purchase him/her, ill be buying from a breeder.
Joseph, that's a great idea. However I think that it would be better if we all contributed something to it and made it a sticky, rather than an entire section.
If you click on the "Articles" tab at the top of the page, then go to the Leopard Gecko Caresheets section, there is plenty of good info there on what the requirements are.
