thinking about getting leos

can i keep leos in rubbermade contaniers? how big?
any breeders i should look into?

Leos are fun, I have about 30 breeders. Usually I keep them individually in 16qt tubs on paper towels with a moist hide. As for breeders, it really depends on which morphs you are looking to get into. :)

i dont know anything about the different morphs. how do you heat the tub? do you have any pics?

You heat the tubs with heat tape, just like you would with ball pythons. You can use the same rack systems too. The racks you see on Boaphile and Animal Plastics can all be used for leos too. Of course, you can always make your own rack too. But if you want to start out with just one animal as like a pet, you could go with the old aquarium and under tank heater method. Idk if I'm allowed to mention other forums here, but there are leo forums so you can google them :)

I have a homemade rack with 16 QT tubs. Check out http://www.leopardgeckowiki.com

www.geckoforums.net is one I'm a member of :gj:

haha guess you can mention other forums. geckoforums is probably the best place to start. you will learn all you need to know and more there

thanks i just want to get a few to start with.

how much would you pay for 3 adult females that look like this?

I would pay about $20 each for them if they are normals like that.

I wouldn't purchase those geckos. They are too thin for their age for my liking. If you browse Geckoforums you will find answers to any questions you may have. You can also contact us for more information on Leopard Geckos.

Yea, I don't think they were those particular geckos since those two appear to be a male and a female and the OP was looking at three females but they are on the thin side. My vote is for you to research some morphs, see what you like, talk to some people, and then go from there :)

yes those are 2 of the leos. theyre a a rescue and he wants $32 each.

Oh, my mistake, I thought it was 3 females. In the picture it looks like a breeding pair. I wouldnt go for these personally. There are many more nicer geckos out there for similar prices.

Is there a site equivalent for leo's that is like Worldofballpythons? Is that wiki site pretty much the best one to figure out morphs? I'm new to these guys and want to learn more about how the morphs work.

I went to gecko daddy and bought a female holloween mask juvie for $15 because it has a lazy eyes. I just think it makes her look cooler. Go to a expo near you and you'll find cheap ones too. I bought a breeder female for $20 and she was 56 grams and is really healthy. Don't buy it if its not worth it. If its your first Leo no resuces or craigslist they always have problems. Good
Luck. :)
