Predators
Leopard geckos have predators, such as snakes, frogs, or foxes and other large reptiles, However one of the main Gecko killers is traffic because they are hunting on the road during night. Their keen sense of hearing and sight help them escape from them during the night. The shedding of their skin also removes any scent markers left behind for potential predators to discover. When they feel threatened, startled, or scared, leopard geckos hiss to ward off predators. Leopard geckos also have the ability to voluntarily detach their tails if it is attacked, grabbed by the tail, bitten during copulation, or nipped by another during feeding, this detaching of the tail does not harm the gecko in any way.
