Leopard Gecko Description Leopard geckos (Eubleharis macularius) are robust geckos with relative large heads and have numerous tiny wartlike tubercles on their skin. The normal or wild colour and pattern are a grey-buff ground coloured body and tail, covered with light yellowish blotches and dark reticulated leopard-like spots. Juveniles have broad dark and light bands across the body and tail and thus look surprisingly different than their parents. Most geckos are nocturnal (night dwelling) and unlike most lizards, are capable of clicking vocalizations. Only geckos in the subfamily Eublepharinae (one of which is the Leopard gecko) have movable eyelids and are sometimes called "eyelid geckos". Leopard geckos can actually clean their eyes by licking them! Geckos have relatively good hearing when compared to other lizards. Hearing must be important otherwise they would not be able to vocalize. Leopard Gecko Classification |
