Their needs are basic, but leopard geckos possess qualities that may challenge you. If you think your kids can handle them, why not welcome them into your home.
Here are the things you need to keep an eye out about these lizards:
WATCH OUT
- They tend to run all the time if given the opportunity. They are so fast. Always keep an eye (or two) on them!
- They bite. But, they make squeaky vocalizations to warn the people around them.
- If they are big enough, they can easily consume mice. Generally, they eat almost everything that moves or wiggles.
Leopard geckos may be naughty at times, but your kids can fall in love with them! Here are more pieces of information about them:
- They love to wow the crowd. They like to be in the spotlight.
- They are not particular about their diet. This makes their feeding a no-brainer task!
- They are nocturnal lizards. So, your daytime is their rest time.
- When taken in as pets, they enjoy staying in an aquarium with a warm temperature.
Leopard geckos are interesting and lovable. Let your kids have them as a pet if you think they are up for the challenge!
