gecko id?

Hi I was wondering if someone could id this gecko for me. I was told it was a pictus, but as soon as I picked up its hide I knew it wasn't. The little girl flew up the wall and almost got away on me.
As far as I can tell it is a Bastardi but have never seen one up close so I cant say for sure.
If someone can conferm Bastardi could they also offer some care info. It has been kept and thrived in a pictus type setup since a hatchling.

Thanks
Sean

Definitely not a pictus! As for what it IS, I can't help you much... ******* gecko is a possibility, but I'm not really familiar with them, or a lot of the more uncommon gecko species... Hopefully someone with some more experience will jump in

Thanks Jen I also agree looks nothing like my pictus. Sure shocked me when it flew up the side of the cage. I pretty much caught it in mid air.

Glad I could help!
Bibrons are a lot of fun, and easy to breed. Good luck with it!
