In Croc Hunter and Jeff Corwin shows, no. I don't think there's one, since the point of these shows are to teach about the unique and endangered wildlife around us, in general. Therefore, they don't go off showing animals that are very common as pets often. But I did saw a nature episode in PBS. It was a episode of The Reptiles, a four episode guide including crocodilians, snakes, turtles and tortoises, and lizards. In the lizard show, they filmed a variety of lizards from around the world, and a clip of leo was shown, but they had it only for few seconds. The most lizards they talked about are monitors, iguanas, chameleons, skinks, etc.

Actually, on Corwin he will often times point out Leopard Geckos; typically around their indigenous areas. He will usually give a little background information on them and move along.

Well, yeah, but he doesn't film them for the whole time, although he may mention them occasionally.

I have never seen or heard of an episode where any of those guys were in Pakistan or Afganistan.

What country were they in when they "mentioned" leopards?

And it's definitely true that the leos are originated from Pakistan area.

I saw 'the pet guys' once, and they were talking about leos as beginner reptiles and setups (this was in a pet store). The guy didnt look like he knew what he was doing though. He said its vital to use UV lighting. LOL,

I saw an ad for some stupid teen-road-romp type movie this summer & it had a bunch of guys in the desert & one of them shook out his pant leg & a leo fell out! My husband & I looked at each other & commented on how deadly those pants leos are! LOL
