Goniurosaurus is a genus of geckos in the family Eublepharidae. The genus contains 27 species. Members species are known by various common names including cave geckos, ground geckos, leopard geckos, and tiger geckos. Members of this genus are found in China, Japan, and Vietnam. For this reason they are also known commonly as Asian geckos.
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 eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamellae.
The Eublepharidae are a family of geckos consisting of 43 described species in 6 genera.They occur in Asia, Africa, North America, and Central America. [1] [2] [3] [4 ...

[1] [page needed] [2] Included in this group is the popular pet leopard gecko Eublepharis macularius. [1] [page needed]
The systematics and phylogeny of the side-blotched lizards is very confusing, with many local forms and morphs having been described as full species. [7] Following the 1997 review of Upton and Murphy, which included new data from mtDNA cytochrome b and ATPase 6 sequences, the following species can be recognized pending further research:
Eublepharis satpuraensis, sometimes called the Satpura leopard gecko, is a species of gecko. It is endemic to central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh , Maharashtra , and Chhattisgarh . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It occurs in moist mixed deciduous forest, dry mixed deciduous forest, and dry peninsular sal forest at elevations of 390–1,350 m (1,280–4,430 ft ...
African fat-tailed geckos are reportedly strictly nocturnal, taking shelter from their generally hot and dry environment during the day and emerging at night to forage. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 9 ] [ 14 ] They have been found during the day hiding under a variety of cover and will retreat to burrows or hide under rocks or fallen logs.
