Leopard geckos are found in Iran, Afghanistan, Western India and Pakistan.  Most of today’s captive bred leopard geckos are descendants of geckos imported from Pakistan.  They reside in deserts and arid grasslands.  Leopard geckos are nocturnal animals sheltering themselves during the day beneath rocks and in burrows.  Leopard Geckos are carnivorous. In captivity they eat crickets, king-worms (zophobas), meal-worms, wax-worms, earthworms, grasshoppers, locusts, and small mice.
