Take one coconut.
Take one flat-head screwdriver and a hammer.
Drive the screwdriver into the eyes of the coconut and drain the milk into a glass.
Then, depending on how 'clean' you want it, you can either:
1. Use a hacksaw to saw off one end of the coconut and take a slice off the 'bottom' of the coconut. (The two cuts are so that if your gecko knocks the coconut over onto the opening, it's not trapped). Then use a butter knife to chip out the meat.
2. Throw the coconut at a concrete floor as hard as you can. This is better if you want small hide pieces for hatchlings. Again, use a butter knife to remove the meat.
3. Use the hammer and screwdriver to tap cracks into the shell and produce pieces that way. Butter knife again.
Tasty... and about 79 pence instead of several pounds to get hold of!
