I am sorry. I did try a search but couldn't find a list or something where I can try to start learning both names. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

My favorite place to look: google! Just google "latin names for reptiles" and you'll have a number of sites to check out.

Since there's literally thousand of different geckos, which makes it near impossible to just memorize all of the various latin names, what I try to do is whenever I come across a gecko that I see that I like, I look it up on google and memorize it's latin name. That way, I can put the visual of the animal AND it's name together in my head. The more than you do this, the more it simply becomes habit, and before you know it, you'll have tons of them indexed in your brain!

This site has a list with Latin names for all the reptiles. You have to go by Latin name first to get to the individual page where it lists some (not all) of the common names as well.
