Eublepharis
''Eublepharis'' is a genus of terrestrial geckos native to eastern and southwestern Asia. The genus was first described by the British Zoology, zoologist John Edward Gray in 1827. The etymology of their name is 'eu' = good (=true) , 'blephar' = eyelid, and all have fully functional eyelids. Members of this genus are found in eastern and southwestern Asia. These geckos are sturdily built. Their tail is shorter than their snout–vent length, and their body is covered with numerous wart-like bumps. The toes do not have adhesive Lamella (surface anatomy), lamellae or membranes (''Eublepharis'' cannot climb like their other gecko cousins). Like all members of Eublepharidae, they are primarily Nocturnality, nocturnal. Included in this group is the popular pet leopard gecko ''Eublepharis macularius''. Species of the genus ''Eublepharis'' The members of the ''Goniurosaurus kuroiwae'' superspecies were formerly considered members of the genus ''Eublepharis''. References Eu ...

Leopard Gecko
The leopard gecko or common leopard gecko (''Eublepharis macularius'') is a ground-dwelling gecko native to the rocky dry grassland and desert regions of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Nepal. The leopard gecko is a popular pet, and due to extensive captive breeding it is sometimes referred to as the first domesticated species of lizard. Taxonomy Leopard geckos were first described as a species by zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as ''Eublepharis macularius''. The genus, generic name ''Eublepharis'' is a combination of the Greek language, Greek words ''eu'' (good) and ''blepharos'' (eyelid), as having mobile upper and lower eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamella (anatomy), lamellae. The species, specific name ''macularius'' derives from the Latin word ''macula'' meaning "spot" or "blemish", referring to the animal's natural spotted markings. There are five subspecies of E. macular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
