Im pretty sure, you just have to hold him for awhile. i pet mine on the head while he lies in my hand, and when i stop, and he doesnt look around, i figure he must be sleeping...or i rub overtop of his eye (where his eyelid WOULD start) and he doesnt stick them in his head. the question would be sooooo much easier to figure out if they had eyelids lol :(

Well, check under its neck. If it is heaving in and out, it is breathing and therefore alivve. If not, it is probably dead, but you should check first by picking it up.

Remember: The neck might take a while (5 seconds or more) to "inflate" so dont go screamin "OMG MY GECKO DIED" if its alive. Hope this helps!

If it is a leopard gecko, it will have eyelids to close while sleeping. A surefire way to tell is if it moves, it is not asleep. If the gecko does not move all day, be concerned. If it is stiff, it is dead.
