Leopard geckos were first described as a species by zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as Eublepharis macularius. [1] The generic name Eublepharis is a combination of the Greek words eu (good) and blepharos (eyelid), as having mobile [2] upper and lower eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamellae.
