Do not pick up your gecko from above, this tends to startle them and they will run for it or sometimes even bite.  The best way to pick up a leopard gecko is to get it walk onto your hand and lift it up that way.  Always be careful not to grab them by the tail, it will break off.

Crickets or mealworms are the suggested diet for a leopard gecko. Waxworms are considered a treat and should be feed sparingly. Adult geckos, especially breeding females, can be fed a pinkie mice occasionally. Adults are also large enough to consume superworms, phoenix worms, and other larger species.  Blaptica Dubia Roaches are also a good option, and unlike crickets, they don't make any noise.  When selecting crickets a rule of thumb is the cricket should be half the size of the gecko's head or smaller. It is recommend to gut load the crickets to provide more nutritional value.
