Basic Care for Leopard Geckos: All About Leopard Gecko Care

If you are looking for a pet that is very easy to take care of, then a leopard gecko is one of the best choices you can make. This is one of the many reasons why people think these reptiles are so wonderful. They are inexpensive and do not require a lot of extra care like other pets night. Before buying or bringing home your Leopard gecko, here is some basic care information you should really know.

Choosing the Right Home or Enclosure

An aquarium is by far the best choice for your Leo to live. They are relatively cheap and come in many different sizes. Probably the most common choice as a home for your new pet is a 10 gallon aquarium. This is definitely sufficient, but I would recommend that you house your Leo in at least a 20 gallon aquarium. Just doubling the size will do wonders for your pet.  They will have more room to run around and exercise, as well as, be less stressed.

Once you have chosen the right enclosure, you need to decorate it.  When creating a habitat for your gecko, the more natural, the better!  One of the keys to a healthy Leo is creating a stress free environment.  Having natural looking decor such as rocks, twigs, branches, etc will create a virtual oasis for them.

Suitable Substrates

If you are wondering what substrate is, it is what is going to cover the bottom of your Leo's cage. There are many different choices of substrate, however some work better than others. Some examples of acceptable substrates are: kitchen paper towels, unused computer paper, Reptile Carpet, slate or tile. These are all considered solid substrates.

Some gecko owners use loose substrates like sand or coconut husks. It is not recommended to use loose substrates because Leo's have been known to swallow this loose material which results in severe or deadly stomach problems.

Under Tank Heating Systems

The natural environment for your reptilian friend is an arid, dry environment.  the best way to replicate that is to use an Under Tank Heating System or Pad.  this is specifically designed to gradually provide the proper warmth for your pet from underneath your pet's enclosure.

These are the best choice because they can be adjusted accordingly to make sure the temperature is just right.  If you do not want to use a UTHS, a simple light bulb will work.

Whats for Dinner?

Insects are your geckos favorite food. They will eat crickets, meal worms, cockroaches, etc. feeding a gecko will be an exciting time! However, just eating insects is a going to be nutritious enough for your Leo. You are going to have to provide some type of nutritional supplement to help keep your gecko well-nourished.

As you can see, there is a little work involved in caring for your Leopard gecko. Did you know that most Leo's die within the first 30 days in their new environment?

Mac OS Tiger or Leopard on AMD Computer?

I have and AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2 GHZ with 2GB of Ram and a ATI Radeon 2600 HD Pro Graphics card. I was wondering if I would be able to run Mac OS Leopard or Tiger as I heard that the Mac OS uses less resources then Windows and I like how it looks. Will i be able to run Mac?

Legally, no, but it has been done before, by myself and many other OS X users. Unless you are one of the lucky few people who accidentally bought the perfect Hackintosh machine when you bought your PC you will run into some roadblocks along the way and you probably won't get a perfect working install. Usually people have issues with sleeping, waking up from sleep, sound not working, video cards not fully working, etc. I had to hack my video card and audio drivers to get my 8800 GT to have full hardware support and to get any sound at all to play.

If you love to hack things or are just feeling brave google "OSx86 Project" or check out the InsanelyMac forums. There's plenty of info floating around the interweb.

If you want a better OS and like the look of OS X, you might also want to try installing Ubuntu (or any other version of Linux) and then following this guide to modify GNOME to look like OS X: http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac

Mac 411: Keep sensitive files in a 'safe'
I have sensitive files (personnel, finance, etc) in my computer. I use a strong password to logon to my computer but worry that someone could view the data when I carry it in a thumb drive if I lose the device.
