What's the difference between leopard gecko and panther gecko?

[beardeds4life]

They are different species... Im not sure if that is what you were asking but...

[EmbraceCalamity]

Different species from different areas with different care requirements. Do you have a specific question?

from what ive heard there care is the same other then the fact that panthers need much higher humidity.

Pictus Geckos (Paroedura pictus) are commonly called panther geckos, ocelot geckos and other less common labels. They come from Madagascar, and are smaller than leopard geckos. I don't know a super lot about them, but their natural habitat is a little more humid and tropical than leos.

I wager their care is more akin to that of African fat-tailed geckos, than it is to leos.

I thought a pictus gecko was closer to a crested?

Well until SoR responds I would venture he may have simply been making a point as to how inadequate and misleading common names generally are.

Pictus geckos are the most prolific geckos in captivity. They breed like no tomorrow and can live in most any conditions.
