Eublepharis angramainyu

[euggenya]

Eublepharis angramainyu born in 2012 in our terrarium (Research terrarium Zoological Museum of Moscow State University, Moscow). 6 animals are already born, and more than 10 are waiting in the incubator. Our terrarium bred them since 2007.

VERY nice! Always great to see true "wild type" leopard geckos being worked with.

It's not a leopard geckos (eublepharis macularius) - it is another species from this genus it is Iraqi Eyelid Gecko, Eublepharis angramainyu

I know that it's not macularius. But here in the US we tend to refer to all Eublepharis as Leopard Geckos as a generic term. Common names don't mean anything.

It's great that we have the Latin names, just to understand each other
I hope that sometimes angramainyu will be as popular as macularius.
