Leopard Gecko
Defaecatorial Behavior
Leopard Defaecatorial Behavior
Leopard geckos are
known to have what is called a Leopard gecko defaecatorial
behavior. This normal
Leopard gecko behavior causes them to deposit their droppings
in the same area of their terrarium. It is like creating a
toilet area.
Figure 1
Example of Leopard gecko defaecatorial behavior.
This defaecation behavior makes
it easy to clean the terrarium and
Leopard gecko
substrate efficiently. It can also give you an indication of
the Leopard gecko
hygiene practices someone is using, i.e. the accumulation of
dropping usually goes hand in hand with poor husbandry
practices.
