I am all just joined today after looking for 2 days for help

I have been keepinf beardies and leopard geckos for the past five year ,
and went to my local reptile shop and was drawn to a bibron gecko and was told there exactly the same has looking after a leo gecko.

I have a crested gecko and 2 day geckos, each in a planted enclosure with fairly high humidity (2 of the enclosures are exo-terras). Here is what I do to maintain humidity:

--substrate: baked clay balls (available at black jungle among other places), mesh divider (not essential --I forgot to use one for my crestie and it's fine), eco-earth or coco fiber about 2-3" deep

--plants: a variety of tropical, easy to care for plants either in pots or planted right into the soil (that's what I do)

--small water dish to aid humidity and for drinking. I make ceramic ones and set them into the soil

--daily misting

My crestie humitidy hovers around 80%.

Good luck.

Hey. I have a Golden Gecko, a Tokay Gecko, and a Red Tail Boa. The Bibron's Gecko has very delicate skin, so you shouldn't handle it like your Leopard Gecko.

Many pet stores have erroneous information about what they sell. Whenever I am considering a new reptile, I google "[name of reptile] care" and read care sheets. It works well and has convinced me not to buy many cool looking reptiles.
