Yup its a Pictus gecko. Has so many names! When they first came around I just used their latin name because it seemed every dealer wanted to use something new to describe it.

If I recall, they don't live extremely long but are hardy little geckos. The whole storing fat their tails reminds me of Leopard and Fat-tail geckos so they've grown somewhat in appeal, though they have drab coloration.

Also, if you post pics of it's underside, I can maybe tell you if it's a male or female.

But don't pair them up, unless you want TONS of eggs. They breed like mice.

Good luck!!!
