A black nocturnal leopard gecko is a color transformation of the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius), a species of lizard native to the arid regions of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and parts of India. The black nocturnal form is characterized by a dark, almost black coloration, with white or yellow spots, stripes or bands on the body and tail.

Leopard geckos are a popular choice for reptile enthusiasts as they are relatively easy to care for and have a docile temperament. They are also known for their unique ability to shed their tails when they feel threatened or handled, which can then grow back.

Black nocturnal leopard geckos, like all leopard geckos, are nocturnal and feed on insects such as crickets, mealworms, and waxworms. They require a warm, dry environment with a basking spot that reaches around 90°F and a cool side that stays around 75°F. Proper diet, temperature, and housing are crucial to the health and well-being of any leopard gecko, including the black nocturnal morph.
