Leopard Gecko: Albino

Discover the captivating beauty of the Albino Leucistic Leopard Gecko, a unique and stunning variant of the popular Leopard Gecko species. Known scientifically as Eublepharis macularius, this reptile hails from the arid and rocky regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India. Its striking appearance and gentle nature make it a favorite among reptile enthusiasts.

The Albino Leucistic Leopard Gecko is renowned for its calm and docile temperament, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced reptile keepers. These geckos thrive in a terrestrial habitat, requiring a warm environment with temperatures ranging from 75°F to 90°F and a humidity level of around 30-40%. A well-ventilated enclosure with a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as sand or reptile carpet, is ideal. While UVB lighting is not strictly necessary, it can be beneficial for their overall health.

With a moderate growth rate, the Albino Leucistic Leopard Gecko typically reaches an adult size of 7 to 10 inches. In captivity, they can live up to 15-20 years with proper care. Providing a diet of live insects such as crickets and mealworms, supplemented with calcium and vitamins, will ensure their health and longevity. Regular cleaning of their enclosure and monitoring of their environment will help maintain their well-being.
