HELP!!!! what kind of gecko is this?

[zeke]

Don't tell someone they are wrong, especially if you don't have a definitive ID on the critter. Whenever you correct someone you should always be able to provide back-up that confirms what you are saying without_a_doubt. We often see or hear things we want to, but it isn't reality.

You could go back to the shop and say you want to take some pictures so that you can show your friends and make sure you get the right subspecies so that you can get the right care sheet. Then PM me the photos, tell me which shop it is, and then I'll snag a leachi at a great price.

Seriously, it probably is the wild caught gecko that the other guys suggested. Pet shop folks can sometimes be dumb or ignorant, but if a high value animal comes into their position, you can bet your life on it that they won't lose tabs on it or sell it for significantly less than its worth.

p.s. its been a couple weeks, did you take the critter home?

LOL, I wish I lived in CA, then I could tell you what shop it was.. I'm in NY
As you can tell I dont like it here. The misses and I wanna get outta here and move to CA. Yes I did pick up the gecko not sure if you clicked the link that wingedwolf posted but there is a thread in the General Gecko area with pics of the setup and gecko.. He is bloody fast too OMG! lol

California is more live-able financially than in years past, and some folks have left, so come on over!

I did click the link and sent a thanks note to mlededee. I'm glad you are happily owning it and others have chimed in to help you on its care. My little geckos are fast too, but they are pretty darn brave and don't dart about when I'm messing around with cleaning, feeding or misting. Hopefully yours will settle down after a little while.

p.s. I just saw my wording... its tough to be perfect online... I said, "if a high value animal comes into their position," when I meant possession. ha ha

It's most certainly wild caught. A parasite check would be a very good idea, as soon as feasible. (Keep things very clean in the mean time, use bleach for disinfecting).
