Need help Identifying these guys...

[lidjamay]

I got this guys in October and have no idea what they are actually. I can't find much online about different types of geckos and I've seen pictures with different names so if anyone can help me. They seem to be happy with the way I have their cage set up but I really don't know anything about them care wise so any help would be great

Looks kinda like a marbled gecko that I had years ago...not sure if it is, but looks similar.

sorry for the pictures not being the best. they are feisty so I wasn't going to aggravate them for pictures lol

Wife says looks like a gargoyle gecko.. Cool lookin guys either way

I'm not sure what they are, but the head structure doesn't look right for them to be gargoyle geckos. Looking at pictures online of the Marbled Gecko, I would have to say they look pretty close to those.

I have to ask though, why did you get something if you didn't even know what it was? I'm not trying to be mean, but I really had to ask.

Also where did you get them from, is there any way you could ask the person you them from?

No I understand I have been asked multiple times, I bought them as giant velvet geckos. But after I went to find specific care for them, all the pictures I have seen of those look nothing like my guys. I got them from Outback reptiles here in VA at a reptile show. It was an impulse buy honestly i got three and a completely set up cage for 100 and the guy told me about them and I seemed confident I could properly care for them. But I just wanted to know exactly what they are, seeing is they don't appear to be what they were sold to me as lol

Some one told me they could be Madagascan Velvet Geckos but I just wanted a few more opinions. Thanks for any help guys

Looking at the pictures online and comparing them to your pictures, the head structure and pattern seem to match. I don't know much about geckos, other than the ones I keep, so I could be wrong. I also haven't worked with Outback reptiles, but I haven't really heard anything bad about them. I would say they are what they said they were.

A google search pulled up a thread on geckosunlimited.com that has a lot pictures of different types of geckos posted. Towards the bottom of post 10 someone posted a Madagascan Velvet Gecko that looks just like yours.

AWESOME!!! Thanks, I did a little more digging and talked to a few other people in the reptile world I know and was able to find a care sheet for them and my care is actually spot on and I was just winging it. Very proud Thanks again, like i said i just wants clarification more than anything
