Because I might get one and I want to know if the care level is easy and can you tell me everything I need for it Be Specific please I will appreciate answers:]
While what Jon said is usually true, I just had to give away my recently bought leopard gecko because he stopped eating. As a forewarning, make sure you feed the lizard the proper sized crickets, large or small. Also, make sure that you have a heating pad on half of the tank, but also make sure that that side doesn't get too warm. Any pet store that supplies leopard geckos should be able to give you everything essential for starting. they even have starter kits that have most of what you need. What I think the problem was with Dexter was that I had to move his tank from where it had been for a few weeks. They are sensitive to the environment outside the tank. It should be somewhere that is usually on the quieter side. With any pet you should always do extensive research on how to care for the creature, the internet is perfect for this.
I will answer half of your question. They are very easy to care for and caring for them is not very expensive once you purchase all the initial equipment which can be pricey. You need to make sure you understand what goes into taking care of a leopard gecko, they eat live crickets so if you aren't able to provide that for them then don't get one.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com As for the second part of you question, I will allow you to do some research on your own. Google "leopard geckos" and you will find many sites that will tell you exactly what you need and everything you need to do. Do research on your own instead of just asking people to tell you everything.
Come back with specific questions if you have any, and good luck.
EDIT: the health issues that were brought up by geckso12 are common when leos are not cared for properly. As long as you proper humidity your gecko should not have problems shedding.
As for handling them, it is up to you how often you want to handle them. Very often, or not much at all, your gecko probably won't care. They are very laid back, go with the flow, and adaptive.
But like I said before, do your own research, see what experts say, and then base your decision off the facts.
No, they are complex creatures

This is as specific as it can get. YES! Just 2-3 crickets every other day and a meal worm every 4 days and the right temperature and humidity.
