How fast can leopard geckos move?
Whilst as far as I can tell no one has actually found out the true speed of a leopard gecko. However it is estimated that leopard geckos can run at between 5-10 kph which isn’t particularly fast. Coupled up with their small size though it can make them hard to handle if they do decide to run.
