Bringing home a baby leopard gecko.

I documented when I first got my leopard gecko, Maui. At the time he was absolutely tiny. This may give you an idea of what to do, and what to expect when you first bring home a baby leopard gecko.

First week with a baby leopard gecko.

I decided to document the first week with my baby leopard gecko. This is a thing I do with all new pets on my channel, as I think it’s important to see that sometimes the first week doesn’t go smoothly - and that’s normal. Sometimes your animals don’t want to eat or to be handled, and that’s fine. Other times, in the case of Maui, things went quite well.

Baby leopard gecko setup.

Here’s how I set up a faunarium as well as a vivarium from my leopard gecko. Initially, I planned on moving him straight into a vivarium, but once I saw how small he was, I opted for a faunarium until he was about 12 grams. Remember, you can always go bigger, and if you want to move your gecko into a 3ft vivarium (or bigger), as long as it is set up correctly, your gecko should be fine.

15 things to expect from a leopard gecko.

Getting a new pet can be super exciting and you may have certain expectations from your leopard gecko - will they be tame? will they eat? will they like me? So, I thought I’d put together thing video so you’re prepared and not disappointed.
