Leopard gecko
The leopard gecko (''Eublepharis macularius'') is a crepuscular ground-dwelling lizard naturally found in the deserts of Asia and throughout Pakistan, to parts of northern India. Unlike most geckos, leopard geckos possess movable eyelids. It has become a well-established and popular pet in captivity.
==Taxonomy==
Leopard geckos were first described as a species by zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as ''Eublepharis macularius''. The generic name ''Eublepharis'' is a combination of the Greek words ''Eu'' (good), and ''blephar'' (eyelid), as having eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamellae, bumpy skin, and nocturnal behavior.〔http://www.herpcenter.com/leopard-gecko-care/leopard-gecko-taxonomy.html〕 The specific name, ''macularius'', derives from the Latin word ''macula'' meaning "spot" or "blemish", referring to the animal's natural spotted markings.Leopard geckos are related to many different geckos including the African fat-tailed gecko. There are four species however that are exceptionally closely related to the leopard gecko, one of which was previously included as a subspecies of leopard gecko:
In addition, there are five subspecies of leopard gecko;
