Leopard Gecko Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Leopard Geckos as Pets
Leopard geckos have become a very popular, and common, pet and have been extensively bred within the United States over the last thirty years. Due to the extensive breeding there are multiple different colour morphs available which adds to the desirability of the leopard gecko as a pet.
The leopard gecko (scientifically known as Eublepharis macularius) is a crepuscular ground-dwelling lizard. Unlike the majority of other gecko species, the leopard gecko possesses moveable eyelids which gives the gecko an anthropomorphic quality. The specie’s extraordinary set of eyelids is the basis for the scientific name. Eublepharis is a combination of the Greek words Eu, meaning ‘good,’ and Blephar, meaning ‘eyelid.’ The name Macularius is derived from the Latin word Macula which translates to ‘spot’ or ‘blemish’ which is in obvious reference to the animal’s spotted markings. They are naturally found in the deserts of Asia, Pakistan and northern India.

Not only is this book full of spelling and grammatical errors, the misinformation is appalling. The recommendations of enclosure size, cohabitation being safe, as well as heat sources and lack of UVB is dangerous and will guide new reptile keepers in the completely wrong direction. Recommending cohabiting leopard geckos is dangerous, and WILL lead to competing for resources and injury of the animal.
