Description

Leopard geckos are usually small lizards with a cream or yellow body and black spots. Leopard geckos are one of the few gecko species with eyelids. Leopard geckos lack the adhesive pads at their toes so they cannot climb smooth surfaces like walls or glass. However, they do have small claws which aid in digging.
