7 Awesome Lizard Gecko Facts That You May Not Have Known About by blissbiz01(m): 4:38pm On Jul 24, 2013
Leopard geckos are a pretty cool pet to have. If you are looking for a pet that doesn't have fur, this is the perfect pet to invest in. This gecko has several different characteristics that make them unique from other creatures. If you are trying to get away from pets that leave behind swirls of fur on your carpet and grooming expenses, getting a leopard gecko is a great direction to go in. There are several facts that you must acknowledge.

Fact #1

One of the best gecko facts is that these particular geckos have a voice! Although they are not able to speak, they have a bark that warns you when they are agitated. These geckos can become stressed and agitated for several different reasons. When a leopard gecko has reached his boiling point, it will bark, sending you a warning that they have had enough.

Fact #2

As far as these gecko facts are concerned, one of the coolest facts about these creatures is that they have eyelids! If you take notice, you will find that other types of geckos do not have eyelids. These particular geckos have the ability to blink and close their eyes while they are sleeping.

Fact #3

The leopard gecko has a defense mechanism that gives them a chance to survive. If at any time they are captured by a predator by the tail, their tail comes off, which will give them time to evade their predator. The tail will grow back, but it will not be as long as the original tail.

Fact #4

As you may have figured, these geckos are nocturnal animals. This means that they sleep and rest during the day and come out at night. During the night time, they hunt for food and are the most active. When the sun is about to come up and a new day begins, the leopard gecko will return to his cozy hiding spot where he will rest and sleep again until night falls.

Fact #5

One of the greatest facts about these types of geckos that many people are not aware of is that these geckos are fond of more insects than just crickets. A leopard gecko's diet consists of crickets, scorpions and even other lizards! If you are feeding a leopard gecko crickets, make sure that you coat the crickets with a calcium powder source. The calcium powder helps them grow and keeps them healthy.

Fact #6

Contrary to popular belief, a leopard gecko does not have sticky pads. This means that they are not able to stick to the sides of their tank or hang upside down. Instead, the leopard gecko have tiny claws that resemble hands.

Fact #7

Determining the sex of this type gecko is a lot easier than determining the sex of a human baby. What matters the most in this situation is the temperature. When the temperature in an incubator is set at or near 80°F, there is a great chance that the geckos will turn out to be female. When an incubator is set at 90°F, there is a great chance that these geckos will be mostly males.
