The genus Eublepharis was first described by the British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1827. The etymology of their name is 'eu' = Good (=true) |'blephar' = Eyelid, and all have fully functional eyelids. Members of this genus are found in eastern and southwestern Asia where they are found in arid and semiarid habitats. These geckos are sturdily built. Their tail is shorter than their snout-vent length and their body is covered with numerous wart-like bumps. The toes do not have adhesive lamellae. Eublepharis are crepuscular or nocturnal ground-dwellers.
Try googling leopard geckos.

"The Eyelash Geckos" by Seuter, Kaverkin, & Kirschner.

I looked at this book over a year ago & I seem to recall it talked about all the Leo subspeices in it.
