#Leopardgeckos (#Eublepharidae) are relatives of the Gekkonidae. The authors P. Jonniaux & Y. Kumazawa (2008) reconstruct using #mtDNA that Eublepharidae and geckos as sister taxa form a sistergroup with #Pygopodidae. Leopardgeckos lack the adhesive lamellae on their feet and the fused transparent eyelids of real geckos. However, the phylogenetic reading is complicated.

CW: rambling about my leopard geckos
here's an introduction for my #LeopardGeckos / #Geckos!
ro: she's a friendly, fearless little glutton with really sharp claws which she enjoys using to climb on me. she had dropped her tail before i adopted her.
toaster: extremely grumpy and bite-y and reclusive. when i rescued her, i was told that she was male, so i often referred to her as a grumpy old man yelling at everyone to get off his lawn. a vet has since informed me that she is actually female, though the vet agreed that she is indeed very grumpy.
and that's the whole crew!

CW: long-winded intro for all of my leopard geckos, where i mention their chronic medical issues and a recent passing
here's an introduction for my #LeopardGeckos / #Geckos! (reposted from my old instance)
sven: RIP Jan 30 2024. named after sven from 80's voltron. he had enigma syndrome so he was rather clumsy but he was also very sweet (and photogenic!). he liked to rearrange his furniture, make a mess, and engage in noisy mischief.
ro: she's a friendly, fearless little glutton with really sharp claws which she enjoys using to climb on me. she was mid-diet in this photo (on vet recommendation). she had dropped her tail before i adopted her. pictured in her current enclosure.
glo: she's very brightly-colored, hence the name! she's extremely chill most of the time. pictured when i first adopted her years ago, before i had finished setting up that tank, because of the weirdly excellent lighting.
toaster: extremely grumpy and bite-y and reclusive. when i rescued her, i was told that she was male, so i often referred to her as a grumpy old man yelling at everyone to get off his lawn. a vet has since informed me that she is actually female, though the vet agreed that she is indeed very grumpy. pictured when i first got her and had her in quarantine. (it's difficult to get good photos of her because she hates everyone.)
and that's the whole crew!

more importantly, here's an introduction for my #LeopardGeckos / #Geckos!
