Thanks guys, is there any other thing I should know about their care?

same as other geckos , don't keep 2 sexually mature males in the same enclosure, the cgd is enough for them so no need for other supplements or insects even though i give mine roaches every other day as they enjoy them as well and don't hold them too much to avoid them shedding there tails( not a life changer for them but looks ugly in my opinion)

Mine are getting near sexually mature it seems so ill need to separate them soon and sex them .there a joy to keep and very pretty as well.

I would definitely read several different care sheets before purchasing one. Compare info and get back to us if you have any questions.

crested geckos > leopard geckos

the fact that you can just feed them the powder mix is incredible.

when i was paring up albino african fat tailed geckos (although slightly different requirements than leos) for breeders i found the whole cricket ordeal to be a PITA..

Now I've shipped the geckos all out to breeders I have switched over to snakes. Much more low maintenance and much more interesting animals IMO/IME.

Bearded dragon by far the best beginner. Easy to maintain interacts well with owner and very docile.. IMO

needs larger than a 29 gal

The minimum requirement for one adult bearded dragon is a 40 breeder.

Leo's are pretty easy to care for. I took care of a wild one for a couple of months during my deployment in Afghanistan. a 29 gallon set up can easily hold two leo's and nearly three. However, as others have said, only one male per enclosure, and if housing males and females, make sure to research breeding and egg laying.
