The decision to get this animal was completely spontaneous. I saw cute pictures on the Internet, read the basics of the content, and the next day I bought my baby. Keeping them simple enough. We need a small terrarium or a container with flow ventilation, in which there should be a shelter, a bowl of water, a wet chamber and, preferably, the presence of a free corner where the animal will go to the toilet. Also, on a small part of the terrarium, there must be lower heating because leopard geckos are cold-blooded animals and without heating they will not be able to digest food.
Check with local vets. They may know of local rescues that take reptiles or may have a client who keeps them. Check for bulletin boards at pet supply shops; post a "free to good home" ad or see if anyone else is looking for a pet. Yes craigslist is a possibility, but be careful. Lots of clueless wannabe pet owners and scammers use it. Check gecko husbandry web forums. There are quite a few as they are popular pets. Here's a link to an active one:
My daughter had one of these. We put an advertisement on her K -12 school bulletin board. School bulletin boards are an option for any pet. We used it advertising a horse.
