The Leopard Gecko is a small, nocturnal lizard native to the arid regions of South Asia. They are known for their distinctive yellow and black spotted skin, which helps them blend into their natural habitat. These lizards typically grow to about 7 to 10 inches in length and can live for over 20 years in captivity. Leopard geckos are popular pets due to their docile nature and ease of care. They are insectivores, primarily feeding on crickets, mealworms, and other small insects. Unlike some other lizards, they have movable eyelids and can blink, making them unique among reptiles.
