The gender of leopard gecko hatchlings depends on the temperature! Males come from slightly higher incubation temperatures (85-90). Females come from slightly lower temperatures (80 or so). Females hatched at higher temperatures sometimes are too aggressive for breeding!
They can live about 20 years in captivity.
Leopard geckos differ from the arboreal geckos in that they have eyelids. The genus name is from the Greek and means "good eyelid". The species name is from Latin and refers to the spots.
