Download or read book Leopard Gecko Care The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Leopard Geckos as Pets written by Tabitha Jones and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. This book was previously published by 'Pet Care Professionals' under the same name.

Download or read book Raising a Leopard Gecko written by Carl Juan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leopard gecko, or Eublepharis macularius, is a genus and species of lizard. A number of countries in Asia, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, are home to these geckos because of their dry climate. They are well-liked as pets because of their cute look, low maintenance needs, and manageable size. The spots or markings on a leopard gecko's skin, which can range in color and design, are what give the species its name. Their maximum adult size is between 6 and 10 inches (15 and 25 cm). Nighttime is prime time for these geckos because they are nocturnal. In terms of care, leopard geckos require a sufficient cage with proper heating and lighting, a substrate for them to dig in, a variety diet of insects, and a steady temperature and humidity level. Their easygoing nature makes them a good alternative for those with no prior experience caring for reptiles. In response to threats from predators, leopard geckos have evolved the ability to regenerate lost tails. A gecko's tail can detach if it's seized or hurt, and it will continue to wag, distracting the predator while the gecko makes its getaway. A new tail will grow in time, albeit it might not be an exact replica of the old one. The leopard gecko is a popular pet lizard due to its unique look, low maintenance requirements, and remarkable abilities, such as the ability to lose and regrow its tail.

Download or read book Basic Leopard Gecko Care and Guide written by Simon Ben and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of leopard geckos available today are native to the desert regions of Afghanistan, Iran, India, and Pakistan. Leopard geckos have been bred in Canada since the 1970s and are now quite common. It is easier to breed geckos than to import new geckos. Breeding leopard geckos is quite easy, many breeders have created new geckos with unique sizes, colors, and other traits that make them popular among reptile enthusiasts. It is not easy to determine the exact age of a leopard gecko since its growth and size depends on breeding, genetic characteristics, health and diet. It is not uncommon to see a leopard gecko's color change as it ages. The Mack Snow leopard gecko, for example, will develop a yellowish color as it ages. Most baby leopard geckos will have bands on their bodies instead of spots. As it grows, it will develop into spots. This will usually happen when the leopard gecko is one year old. So if your gecko still has bands and no spots, chances are it is still under a year old. How long do leopard geckos live Leopard geckos can live up to 20 years or more if their owner takes good care of them by ensuring they have a good diet, suitable habitat, and monitoring their health. There have been cases of leopard geckos living up to 30 years of age, but although this is possible it is usually rare for them to reach this age. Leopard geckos in the wild will have a much shorter lifespan due to predators, disease, and injury that are generally avoided when kept as pets. Leopard geckos are one of the most popular animals in the lizard family. They are sturdy, easy to maintain, require little space, and have a long lifespan that make them an ideal companion for families. They make great first pets and can easily be bred to create babies of different colors and sizes, making them ideal for experienced reptile owners as well. They only feed on insects, so their diet is not complicated like other reptiles such as bearded dragons, and they are very docile and can be manipulated without worrying about aggression. Their natural environment is difficult: high temperatures and weeks without food or water. Leopard geckos are adapted to survive where other animals cannot. This makes the leopard gecko extremely robust and it also explains why many people believe that they are so easy to care for and take care of as pets. Facts about the leopard gecko When agitated, the leopard gecko barks. The leopard gecko uses its tail as an emergency fat and water supply. When confronted with a predator or if attacked, the leopard gecko will let go of its tail to give the predator a distraction and escape. The tail of the leopard gecko will eventually grow back. Unlike other geckos, leopard geckos don't have sticky gills (sticky pads on their paws) and have few claws instead. That's why you can keep a leopard gecko in a cage without worrying about it escaping. They have an unusual anatomy. With the right angle, you can look in one ear, see through their head, and see their other ear. Want more Tips on Leopard Gecko Care? Then get a copy of this book.
