Description:

Unlike most geckos, Leopard geckos possess eyelids. These Geckos are solitary, and do not usually live with other animals. Leopard geckos are typically small in size. Hatchlings tend to be 6.5 to 8.4 cm (2.6 to 3.3 inches) in length and weighing about 3 grams while the adult geckos are about 20.5 to 27.5 cm (8.1 to 10.9 inches) in length and weigh about 45 to 65 grams.

Habitat:

This is a nocturnal ground-dwelling gecko naturally found in the deserts of Southern Central Asia, from the southern parts of Afghanistan, throughout Pakistan, to the northwestern parts of India.
