to the forum and congrats on getting your first leo - what morph and age is he/she?

What sort of information is it that you need - housing, feeding etc??

Firstly, welcome to the Forum.

As you already have the leo.. best thing is to run through what you do know... and then anything your not sure of can be gone through.

Dont forget to get pics up in the lizard pics section when you can too.

Hi there

Have you ever read Paulines care advice over on the Geckospot website? Ive found her advice to be some of the best around for Leopard geckos.

Don't worry if she doesn't eat for the first few days you have her - it's quite natural.

And if you aren't too fond of crickets (they still make me shudder!) stick them in the fridge for 5 mins or so before feeding - it slows them down and they don't jump all over the place!

I'm not sure about Doncaster but there's one at Rodbaston College in Staffs on 18th November, you will need to be a member of IHS first though:

International Herpetological Society - West Midlands Branch Future Meetings

There is also a thread which lists this years shows:

****UK Reptile Shows 2007****

Hope that helps
