Some people call them geckos and other people call them leopard geckos, but what we need to know is that there not very social and don’t like other animals.

The females usually grow to be about 18 – 20 cm, while the males grow to 20 – 28cm long. In captivity there lifespan is usually 10 to 20 years, in the wild they live to about 6 to 8 years.

The pros of having a gecko like this are: Leopard geckos make an excellent pet because; these colorful creatures are small, they are very quiet animals, they don’t smell and don’t need a lot of attention.

Spotted Leopard Geckos need a thermometer, baking lamp, uv lamp, a hot mat ,and an infra red heat lamp.
