Ok, one of my clients is buying his 3 yr old son a Leopard Gecko off craigslist and I have a few questions!

1) How long is life expectancy of a Leopard Gecko?

2) A good site with basic care and requirements for them?

3) A gecko forum?

Thanks everyone!
 
Oh, you are not telling me anything I dont know!
JEEZ, when he dropped off his son(I do daycare) yesterday and told me that "N" asked for a lizard and they found a L.Gecko on CL and were emailing about it...... I was really annoyed.
We didnt get a lizard when my kids were little BECAUSE they are not little kid pets! JEEZ
We just got our 1st cham in Feb. and if I wasnt home all day, etc. we wouldnt have it. They need care!
And the daycare kids can watch Karma but they do not handle her and if I do anything with her during the day, I wash my hands, etc.
These people know nothing about Geckos, Mom works all day and attends school at night. Dad attends school both day and night and the little boy is in my care 3 full days a week.
I can easily see this becoming a lost cause and either I get offered it in 6 months OR it perishes.

I am glad to see they live to be 20 because this one is 7 and I was worried that it was near the end of its life and would die soon.

I am trying to at least get him the proper resources to care for it. I know they did NO research, that this was a whim pet. UGH!

We researched chams for 15 yrs before we finally relented to getting one.
 
reptileculture.com is a good place for gecko related stuff.

I breed leos and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. You can PM me if you would like.
