The leopard gecko is the most popular species of pet gecko in the entire world, and for good reason. In the wild these small reptiles spend the day in hides to avoid the harsh desert sun and spend their nights on the hunt for small insects. In captivity they are often considered to be the worlds first domesticated reptile due to their ease of handling and care. Leopard geckos make one of the best pets for new reptile keepers just starting out and are a classic favorite of veteran keepers.
