 I chose to compare the leopard gecko, and the legless lizard. The legless lizard is also called an Eastern Glass lizard, which is found in Florida. They’re going on the endangered list because so many people mistake them for a snake, and end up killing them. It does move in an “S” form like a snake, so when someone approaches it then it will slither away. Also, if you were to hold the legless lizard, then at the midpoint of its body is its anus. Also, this lizard has no legs, but where the anus is, then there are these little flaps where the legs would be. Then, right at the midpoint of its body, then the second half of the body is its tail. If the lizard happened to feel threatened, then it can detach its tail at the drop of a hat, and then scurry away. The lizard will then regenerate a new tail. Just like the leopard gecko. Or any lizard for that matter. It’s pretty amazing. When a snake goes to eat it unlocks its jaw so that it can eat a prey that’s like twice its size; like a full rabbit. With a legless lizard, then it can’t do that. It has to stick to prey that’s the same size as its head. They eat insects, snails, eggs, and small mice or pinkies. Also, the legless lizard has ear canals, where a snake doesn’t, but it does have scales like a snake.

     Now, onto the leopard gecko. These little guys are really neat. I used to have one not too long ago, but unfortunately he passed away. I would feed him mostly crickets, and then sometimes I’d give him a few mealworms, as a treat. You don’t want to feed them too many of the mealworms because they aren’t good for him. They’re like a fatty treat. The crickets have a whole lot of nutrients for them that they need. Out in the wild, leopard geckos, will eat any type of insects that can fit in his mouth. Speaking of eating, when the leopard gecko sheds, then it will eat the skin so that it leaves no trail. That way he can’t be hunted. Plus the skin has a lot of nutrients for them. Also the leopard gecko is technically a crepuscular ground-dwelling lizard. They’re naturally found in the deserts of Asia, Pakistan, and some parts of Northern India. The difference of the leopard gecko to a normal gecko is that the leopard gecko’s have moveable eyelids. Also, a really neat fact, if you take a flashlight, and shine it in one of the gecko’s ears, then it’ll shine straight through. Yes, it has a hollow ear canal, but don’t be fooled because a leopard gecko has amazingly good hearing. It helps them while they hunt or try to hide from eluding predators.

     So, the legless lizard, and then leopard gecko do have a lot in common, but are still so different from one another. I can’t wait to get another leopard gecko, or maybe I might get a snake. I was thinking maybe a ball python. Those are really cool snakes, but that’s another day. Lol I really hope that you all enjoyed reading my paper, and I hope that you were able to get something out of it.

         Thank you so much,
