Is a leopard gecko really the perfect first reptile? After 25 years of keeping reptiles, I’m giving you my honest answer-and exposing the pet-store advice that causes beginners the most trouble.

In this video, I break down what new leopard gecko owners need to know about:
• Proper enclosure setup  
• Safe heating and temperature control  
• Lighting requirements  
• Diet and supplementation  
• Calm, responsible handling  

Leopard geckos can be among the best reptiles for beginners, but only when their needs are understood from day one. I’ll help you separate reliable care from outdated advice so you can give your gecko a healthier start.

Tell me where you’re watching from-I read every comment.
