Sorry it's not art, but I just really want to show you my new baby. ;w; (ithinkhesarttho)
My friend gave me his gecko day before yesterday, and he is perfect. His name is Taffy. Still a little shy, but he's still getting settled in. Poor thing doesn't understand what's happened. He is eating though, which is a good sign.
I have wanted my own gecko since I was a little kid. ;w; He's great, so sweet.
I am slowly learning what a pain in the rear crickets are. They haven't really chirped that I've noticed, but they die so easy. Then you have to immediately remove dead cricket because they can poison live crickets and make them die also. >:U I'll probably switch his main diet to gut-loaded meal worms and give him rickets only a couple times a week.

Luna just licked crickets and worms and walks away so I was worried but then, because someone I knew at the time had a bearded dragon who ate locusts, I tried one with her and she ate it straight away :P I've tried them again since then but she'll only eat locusts so far
My old male will cheerfully take scrambled egg as a bonus meal. Otherwise crickets, large moths, feeder roaches, hell, even pinky mice are snacks. He's even attacked cooked roast turkey.
My female is more fussy, she'll destroy feeder roaches, grass hoppers, cicadas (Winged sticks of butter!), jumbo meal worms. In the summer months I will vary their diet with natural caught foods. Moths are always appreciated, katydids, grass hoppers.

Feeder roaches aren't the German or Brown Roaches. These are stupid and slow and apparently highly nutritious. I too balked at them, cause I totally HATE roaches. Til I tried a cup-o-bugs at a reptile show and my lizards LOVED them. But common roaches...HATE HATE HATE!!
The scrambled egg I was giving to my shellbacks and bearded dragons, and tried some with my leopards, who sniffed it, tasted it and were immediately hooked. My old male is a greedy guts for scrambled egg.
Blondie so far hasn't grasped the delight of scrambled egg yet. Its good for them, protein.
On the natural bugs, mostly the fear is with wild caught crickets and locusts. Moths, cicadas, katydids are generally fine. Plus it allows the lizard to use their hunting skills.
Plus, leopards are also skin eaters, they will eat their shed skin.
