Hello from Seattle.

Hey everybody. My name is Luis and I've been keeping leopard geckos since Sunday.
I read about them a lot of in the past but never really pulled the trigger and set anything up until Sunday. I picked up two leopards from a local who had too many pets and needed to find a good home. Here are some pictures, I don't have any fancy leopards at the moment. I might get some really cool ones later on. I have 3 so far.

Hi Luis! Welcome to GeckoForums.net!!! I hope you do some research on substrates for your new little geckos.

 

[edwing206]

Thanks. I know that sand is very bad for geckos if they eat it. The first gecko pictured ate some sand yesterday but has not eaten any today. Should I change the substrate to bark?

Welcome! change the substrate to Tile, Paper towels, no loose substrates are recomended at all you could also use reptile carpet

welcome!! I agree with everyone on the sand. one substrate you can use with out harm is aspen, if you want something that isnt bare looking. Ive been using it on leopards since my first pair over 15 yrs ago with no problems. paper towel is the easiest though. good luck
