The Leopard gecko is a nocturnal ground dwelling gecko found in the deserts of Pakistan, Western India, Afghanistan, and parts of Iran. Unlike most geckos it possesses eyelids. Leopard geckos have become well established in captivity, particularly the pet industry. Leopard geckos were first described as a species by British zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as Eublepharis macularis. The generic name Eublepharis is a combination of the Greek words Eu, and blephar, as having eyelids is what distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos. Leopard geckos are very low maintenance in comparison to other reptiles commonly kept as pets. The leopard gecko is one of only a few gecko species that have eyelids.
