1 Body surface: The body surface of geckos, headed by leopard geckos, is covered with fine scales and large granular scales. Large granular scales are distributed among fine scales in a specific pattern. The granular scales are more noticeable in adults than in juveniles.

In addition, leopard geckos, like other reptiles, will shed their skin as they grow. . When it's time to shed its skin, a white color will appear on the surface of the body, and new cortex will form underneath. Most individuals eat their aged skin during molt.

2 Head: The head of the leopard gecko is relatively wide and can swallow larger food.

3 Tail: The tail of the leopard gecko has accumulated fat, so it is quite plump. When wild individuals cannot catch prey, they rely on the fat in their tails to survive hunger. In addition, when it detects danger, it can cut off its tail on its own and use the cutoff to divert the opponent's attention and escape. This behavior is called "self-tail docking" and is a common behavior among lizards.

Leopards raised in captivity rarely have their tails docked on their own, but they should still be treated with care and never pull their tails hard. The tail that regenerates after docking is called a "regenerated tail", and its shape will be slightly different from the original tail. The surface of the regenerated tail is smooth, with no granular scales visible. The length is usually shorter than the original, and the lines at the tip are rounded.

The surface of the regenerated tail cannot reproduce the pattern of the original tail, and the color will also be somewhat different. However, the regenerated tail will not cause health problems to the individual. As long as there are no requirements for appearance, there is no need to worry about it during the breeding process.

Four toes: Geckos are different from geckos in that the finger pads do not have thin plates under the toes and are shaped like slender sticks with long pointed claws. Although they can use their claws to climb, they cannot climb vertical surfaces or slippery objects.

5 Armpits: Fat patches will appear in the armpits of leopard print geckos, which protrude like sarcomas. , we call it {calcium sac}. This is actually because the tail can no longer hold the body fat, so it is in the armpit. Don’t worry if calcium cysts appear, just feed less calcium powder to eliminate them.
