Their base background color is yellow or orange, but through captive
Breeding many color variants have appeared.

walls and on the glass of a terrarium. Leopard geckos, however, do
not have toe pads; instead, they have small claws.
         * Leopard geckos are very gentle, which separates them from
the rest of the lizards and makes them great as pets. You really need to
provoke leopard gecko in order to make him angry, and even if he is angry
he usually won’t bite you.

waxworms too, but avoid giving them too many because they contain
a lot of fat. You can give them to your gecko as a treat once a week.
