Does the law in Norway consider the status of the species as wild/game or the status of the individual animal as its natural state? Some species can be both wild and domesticated. Felix catus is a good example. Feral cats are wild cats, domesticated cats are pets, both belong to the same species: Felix catus. Dingos are wild dogs, but as a species belong to Canis familiaris. If you were to try to import a Dingo dog or a feral cat from Australia to your country, what would the law say about it? On a taxonomic point of view, it is the same dog as the poddle next door or the Siamese from your cousin. Should they deny your application for importing a Dingo dog or a feral cat on the basis of "wild" (not domesticated) state, they could not deny your right to keep geckos on the status that they have not been domesticated...
