Leopard Gecko overview
Leopard geckos are bred in an enormous range of morphs, from tangerine and bold stripe to the enigma line, which carries a well-documented neurological syndrome that responsible breeders disclose.
Temperament
Calm, crepuscular and easily tamed.
Grooming
Provide a humid hide to support clean sheds, especially around the toes.
Health considerations
Look for a fat tail, clear eyes, no retained shed, and a documented feeding record.
