The video quality isn't great...all handycam and handheld but the audio is good and generally it's worth watching this video on how to breed crickets for reptiles including leopard geckos.
Extra tip: sprinkle cricket diet food onto the cricket which gives them extra nutrition and they will spread the good health to your reptile.
Common terms used in the leopard gecko world | Part One
TERRARIUM
This is a container or enclosure in which either living plants or small animals are kept. It's often transparent (glass or plastic) to let the sun and/or heat in and usually has plants in it, like a mini-garden. Think of an aquarium looking like a water world, and a terrarium looking like a land-based world.
VIVARIUM
Like a terrarium but vivarium contains an animal such as a lizard. In Latin, vivarium literally means 'place of life'. So, in the old days a terrarium might contain just plants whereas a vivarium always contained animals. So an aquarium is a form of vivarium. And a terrarium containing 'life' is a form of vivarium too. Don't worry...the terms can be interchanged when talking about the typical leopard gecko housing.
Here's the wikipedia definition of Vivarium
