It can be daunting when you're looking for the perfect setup for your leopard gecko. Often there are different vivarium sizes, and differing opinions on UVB and heating, and some morphs even have different requirements than others adding an extra layer of complication. Our team at Leopard Geckos London has created the below list to serve as a straightforward way for owners to see exactly what they need.
For ease of use, Amazon links are highlighted in teal and Internet Reptile links are highlighted in orange!
