Leopard Gecko Information - Fun Tidbits
Leopard geckos have several characteristics which make them not just any old lizard. These fun and attractive animals make great pets. If you'd like to learn some fun facts about these fascinating reptiles, this article is for you.
They have eyelids which they close while sleeping, unlike other species of gecko. They can also blink, another unique trait.
Geckos can grow as long as 25.4 cm.
They lack the toe pads which allow other geckos to climb walls and other vertical surfaces; instead, they have small claws on their feet.
The leopard gecko is named for its coloring, which is usually yellow or orange with black spots. However, leopard geckos can be found in many different colors, with breeders having produced geckos in many different patterns and colors.
They are very gentle and docile animals; they rarely bite, even when you provoke them. This is one of their qualities which makes them good pets.
A leopard gecko can live for a very long time; close to 20 years is common and they have been known to live as long as 30 years - longer than dogs and as longer than most cats!
Geckos use their tail as fat storage; they can also detach their tail if a predator catches them by the tail. They'll grow a new tail to replace the one they've lost. They shake their tails when defending their territory, hunting or mating.
Geckos can bark! They bark when excited and sound a little like a tiny, gecko-sized dog.
They eats scorpions, spiders, insects and even smaller lizards in the wild. The leopard gecko is one of the few animals which is immune to scorpion stings, making it a fearsome enemy for these poisonous insects.
Like other geckos, leopard geckos are nocturnal, being most active at night and usually sleeping through the day.
Your pet leopard gecko's diet should consist solely of insects. Before you buy a pet leopard gecko, you'll need to make sure that your pet store sells the bugs your gecko needs. They're too high in fat to make a regular part of their diet, but you can give your leopard gecko a weekly treat of their favorite snack: wax worms.
