A well-fed gecko can actually live between 19 and 22 years, with the oldest confirmed leopard gecko living all the way to 27 years old! For this reason, they make good pets for children since your child will be able to grow up with the same animal over the course of many years. In the wild, this means that leopard geckos will breed many times during their life, making it an ethical pet choice, as it is not an endangered species.
The natural coloring of these reptiles tends to be a yellowish, creamy color with black stripes, but years of captive breeding have altered the natural coloring of leopard geckos and caused the introduction of new colors to the species, such as: tangerine, lavender, solid white, and even black spots. Though it may seem strange, leopard geckos have adapted remarkably well to captive breeding programs, and are now one of the premier choices for reptilian pets today.
At only 6-8 inches long, both in the wild and in captivity, leopard geckos make a great choice for a small household pet, and they require minimal care as compared to many other pet reptiles. They produce very little odor, and if you take care to handle a leopard gecko while it's still a baby, he'll be quite tame as an adult and almost enjoy being held!
