The Eublepharidae are a family of geckos (Gekkota) consisting of 30 described species in six genera. They occur in Asia, Africa and North America.[1][2][3][4] Eublepharid geckos lack adhesive toepads and, unlike other geckos, have movable eyelids, thus commonly called eyelid geckos. Leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) and African fat-tailed geckos (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus) are popular pet lizards.
