The Turkmenistan eyelid gecko or Turkmenian eyelid gecko (Eublepharis turcmenicus) is a ground-dwelling lizard native to Turkmenistan and northern Iran.[2] It inhabits rocky and stony foothills and slopes at elevations up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level. It is oviparous, typically laying clutches of two eggs.[1] Mainly insectivorous, it may also eat smaller vertebrates. Like many other lizards has the ability to shed its tail (autotomy).
