I keep getting a bad gateway.
Maybe you should put the pics in your gallery here and put up the link.

They are morning geckos I my be wrong on the sub species but they're deffinatly a Lepidodactlytus species. Check em out I am sure you can match yours up. BTW most of that species are all females, not needing males to reproduce.

Ok thanks! I have some better pictures today that may help too.
Gecko 03
Gecko 04
Gecko 05
Still think its a mourning gecko?
I have been looking it up and if it is Lepidodactylus the only pictures I can find are Lepidodactylus lugubris which is the Mourning gecko.
Thanks so much for your help and input!

Looked up the latin name and I'm fairly sure that the gecko pictured is a Marble Gecko
Christinus guentheri
or
Christinus marmoratus

It is about 4" or 10cm STV and total STL is about 7-8".
Thanks for helping!

Well I called the petco and the guy I talked to said the reason they are in the assorted gecko cage is because they are usually hybrids. He said it was most likely a marble gecko hybrid... but he wasn't sure. So I guess I will use the marble gecko care sheet....
thanks for your help!

hi there. looks like the species is Phyllopezus.p.przewalskii.
I have a 2.2 breeding group of them. Not very prolific, and the eggs take a gazzillion years to hatch. Hope this helps

I do not know the common name, as I believe that I am one of the only people in Canada with a true proven group. They do have 'sticky' feet, more like a Vorax than a crested though, with well shown claws, that have been seen used for digging, forraging, etc,.....They are sexable much like other arborial geckos, with the males having hemipenal bulges and a noticable V above the vent. The females are like day geckos in appearance when sexed. Hope this helps.
By the way, how old is your little guy?
