Hm, with Leopard Gekkos it's really hard to tell, because: 1) With any given individual within a species, it's really hard to tell: all depends on that particular animal's circumstances. 2) Individual territory for most species is unknown. There are some for which we have some good idea, but that sort of information requires tracking individuals over the long-term, and people hav en't done it. 3) Leopard gekkos are a widely-kept pet species, so data that is available usually comes from obervance of individuals kept as pets, which may or may not have anything relationship to how they behave in the wild.
It did occur to me when I first started wondering, that the studies might not have been done. When I got around to posting my question I'd forgotten to worry about how to tell the difference between "nobody knows yet" and "I'm using the wrong search terms to find it." Hmm. A metaproblem in web searching.
