Pro's and Con's of Leopard geckos???

You want to make sure that one end of their tank is at least 86 to 88 degrees and the other should be about 70 to 80. This can be done with the use of a reptile heating pad that can be placed underneath the tank. They do require a certain degree of humidity to help aid in their shedding process. If they lack the humidity that they need, it could result in them either having a bad shed or losing some digits. I personally would go with a 50 gallon as it may be easier to keep the right temps then if you go with the 75. If you choose to not go with the heating pad, you can use a basking light but the downside to those is that it can disturb their nocturnal pattern and you may need to have a blue or red bulb to use at night rather than the standard basking light. I think really the only con is that they are not the type of reptiles that like to be handled all the time, they really only tolerate being handled a few times a week. Plus, you can not have them in pairs as the males can overbreed the females and if you get 2 of the same , they will be fine as babies but once they hit adulthood, they may fight.
