Leopard Gecko

Eublepharis macularius · Lizards

Ground-dwelling, eyelidded and easy to keep. Morphs mix clean single genes with polygenic line-bred colour projects.

Care basics

  • A 36x18 in floor-space enclosure with a warm dry hide and a humid shedding hide.
  • Belly heat 90–92°F at the warm end, ambient upper 70s°F, low humidity.
  • Feed gut-loaded insects dusted with calcium and D3; adults eat every 2–3 days.
