The toes do not have adhesive lamellae or membranes (Eublepharis cannot climb like their other gecko cousins). [1] [page needed] Like all members of Eublepharidae, they are primarily nocturnal.
A leopard gecko consumes a small insect. Leopard geckos are opportunistic predators that eat a variety of prey items. [12] Invertebrates are presumed to make up the majority of wild geckos' diets, but they will also eat small vertebrate prey if given the opportunity, including mouse pups, smaller reptiles, and even hatchling leopard geckos.
