leopard gecko
Beginner's pet reptile
A leopard gecko is a small, docile lizard native to arid regions of South Asia, popular as a pet due to its manageable size and calm temperament.
Named for its spotted pattern resembling a leopard's coat, it stores fat in its thick tail and, unlike most geckos, has movable eyelids rather than fixed transparent scales.
