Leo Gecko Taxonomy

[Rodders]

Evening all.

Can someone clarify for me that this is right?

Kingdom - Animalia
Phylum - Chordata
Class - Reptilia
Order - Squamata
Sub Order - Lacertilia (?)
Family - Gekkonidae
& then for leos Genus/Species - Eublepharis macularius?

Hope I got my spellings right...

Cheers!

I'm not too sure about sub-order, but everything else looks right!

I have seen the bonomial name spelt both E. macularius and E. macularis so not sure which is technically correct.

Some call the sub-order Sauria instead of lacertilia
You could add the sub-family Eublepharinae, but it's not really essential

Ahhh yeah I werent too sure of the spelling for the sub -family so i steered clear lol :P

Cheers guys!
