General Leopard Gecko Behavior Like most other geckos, Leopard geckos usually hide away under logs or in burrows during the daytime while they sleep. This is normal Leopard gecko behavior and is called nocturnalism. When active they tend to be inquisitive animals and will walk around slowly looking for moving food objects. Although Leopard geckos are ground dwelling species their clawed toes allow them to climb on rocks and branches. This Leopard gecko behavior allows them to absorb heat ventrally and to bask in the sun at the same time. Leopard gecko eating behavior entails scavenging around, looking for the occasional prey. They are hunters by nature, but will also eat slow moving, worm-like creatures. Leopard geckos shed periodically and are known to eat sloughed skin. An interesting fact about Leopard gecko behavior is that they are defaecatorial. This defaecatorial behavior means that they often deposit their droppings in the same area of their terrarium. |
