Lizards is pretty much a common name for reptile, but the family is large. Geckos are a member of the lizard/reptile family as they are a lizard, but there are many other lizards that are not geckos. Bearded dragons, blue tongued skinks, anoles, chameleons, plated lizards and thousands of others are lizards/reptiles, but they are not geckos, just part of the family.

Well, "gecko" is a term for a certain family of lizards. They are lizards. The way you can tell a gecko from a regular lizard is actually very simple. If the lizard has a head that is about as thick as its body (or you can tell its head from its neck easily) it's a gecko. If its head is small and the width of its neck, it is just a regular lizard.

A leopard lizard is a ground dwelling lizard found in arrid areas with little vegetation and requires a sparce viv with rocks and must have dry conditions. a leopard gecko is similar except it is nocturnal, so it comes out at night. they are very easy to keep. look up some websites for care sheets, just tap in what you want on google and you will get it, EASY

lizards usually refers to anything green, scaly, and with tail...most people associate lizards to iguanas, geckos, and anoles. this is too generalized of a term because each "lizard" has completly different housing, food, and care requirements.
