Leopard Gecko Care Sheet - Have the Happiest Leo on Your Block
A Good Leopard Gecko Cage
Your leopard gecko should have a 10 gallon aquarium at the smallest, but 20 or 30 gallons would also work. It’s better to have a flat aquarium with lots of space for running around than a taller one.
Make sure there is a good place for your gecko to hide, with some humidity. Peat moss works well, as does vermiculite. Also, put pieces of wood, rocks, overturned saucers and other stuff for your gecko’s amusement.
If you’d prefer not to use an aquarium, you can use any kind of box, as long as it has ventilation, temperature control, and can be kept clean.

Leopard geckos are unique in the reptile world for several reasons. First off, they are small and easy to take care of.

Also what most people do not know is that, unlike most other reptiles, iguanas are strictly vegetarians. This means that they do not eat bugs, insects or any other animal matters whatsoever.
While most iguanas are herbivores, there are a few in the wild who are omnivorous. These are usually terrestrial dwellers who eat wax worms, meal worms, and other insects from their Read more
African Elephant
African elephants are the largest of Earth’s land mammals. Their enormous ears help them to keep cool in the hot African climate.
African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. They are slightly larger than their Asian cousins and can be identified by their larger ears that look somewhat like the continent of Africa. (Asian elephants have smaller, rounded ears.)
Elephant ears radiate heat to help keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Elephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust.
