Lol !! thanks Deanoce !! The leopard is about 1yr 6mths. They can live for around 25yrs. One of the easiest most hassle-free pet i've ever owned.

I was hoping to invest in another species of reptile,but beardies seem like too much room. How much and what do you feed the leo a day?
I like their eyes

Beardies will need a 4ft tank. You can start off smaller but eventually must be moved to a 4ft. Leaord Gecko's only needa max of 2ft. The kind of size of a small Hamster cage. (although don't usea hamster cage lol)
Our Leopard gets fed every 4 days as he's an adult now so you feed less often His favourite is Crickets (about 5 depending on size of crickets, more if smaller) and Mealworms ( he has around 10 of thses but differs each feeding) He will only eat what he needs too. If he is no longer hungry then he won't take any more food. Leopards are Nocturnal so don't expect there initially to be loads of sightings of him. Mine does come out a lot during the day though now. Once they are settled in then you will see much more of them during the day, but just don't expect to. They are so easy to keep and look after. I've trained mine to come out and onto my hand when I say his name now, although this took a lot of time and patience but it's possible.

0.0 wow, thats some good training , ive got a crestie who comes to the top everynight to get handled , i dont know whether i could feed that many insects, it seems like the cost would add up to quite a bit and how many times do you have to go to the pet store for more insects?
