Once you've made the decision to bring a leopard gecko into your home, you may be aware of the proper husbandry and care that it takes to house a leopard gecko, but are you 100% aware of how to choose a leopard gecko?
You need to be aware of all the signs and symptoms of a sick leopard gecko versus a healthy one. Now, it may seem like common sense, but some may not be as obvious. And, remember, when you see a sickly leopard gecko, it may feel great to rehabilitate it back to health, but please take into consideration the financial means that it truely takes.
Make the decision of where you want to purchase the gecko, as at times, pet stores may not have the best idea of proper care of reptiles. In many cases, pet store reptiles are not at their optimum health. They may have parasites and genetic illnesses.
Breeders can be cheaper or more expensive depending on the morph. You will have to pay a shipping fee, unless you live close or if you go to a reptile expo in your area.
Leopard geckos make great pets, just make sure to pick out a healthy one. Make the right decisions for your new pet.
