tiny tiny "blue-eyed sand geckos"? heard of them?

[Colin Vestrand]

i was at a herp show and this guy had some "blue-eyed sand geckos" that are about an inch long (almost full grown). i can't find any info on them, probably because that's not really what their name is... and i definitely don't have a latin name for them.

i'll post some pics, they are really cool geckos, i'm just trying to find some more info. they're super active and they eat extra small phoenix worms and fruit flys. pinhead crickets are even too big...

do any of those look remotely like what you saw? I see some listed as "Egyptian sand gecko" and "Israeli sand gecko"

i just noticed, i didn't mention i picked up 5 of them!
yeah those may be it.. .they look a little different. they're from egypt from what he said. they live in colonies and are one of the smallest true geckos in the world from what i was told. these guys are so interesting to watch... they have a fierce feeding response!
thanks btw
