my first leoppard gecko

You can get calcium with or without D3 from most pet stores. I used calcium without D3 in his calcium bowl and dust his mealies with a leopard gecko supplement every meal. He has been doing fine and has had not problems since I got him over a year ago.

Are you getting a full grown leo or a baby?

Which one would be better to start with?

A healthy, well-established adult with a thick tail would help bypass some potential issues. Though it may be fun to watch it grow from a hatchling/juvenile to an adult. Leopard Geckos are pretty hardy. I think either way is fine as long as you purchase a healthy animal from a reputable source.

What LGL said, as long as it is healthy there shouldn't be too much of a difference.

With a baby you get the chance to watch it grow, see the changes in the patten and in a sense you get to know it. It can also help with how it handles being held. My leo is approx. 3 years old and the previous owner hardly held him but took care of him. So he is healthy but doesn't care to be held. But otherwise his temperament is wonderful :)

Female or male to start with?

I answered that along with your other questions in the other thread. :)
