>>Would anyone know if there are any other gecko species that our buddies might be?



Yeah--about 100 of them! They are likely Mediterranean geckos,(Hemidactylus turcicus) or at least close relatives. The care will be similar.



We have purchased a tank, a heater,



What kind of heater? Where do you live? I had some for a short period and used no supplemental heat. Then again, it's 78 degrees Fahrenheit in my house!



dried flies,



I predict little to no success with dead flies. The movement of live prey is what stimulates many lizards to feed. I would look online for wingless fruit flies (since you have hatchlings, the size will be appropriate) and order them.



and a UV light



The pet store ripped you off here. These geckos are predominantly nocturnal and UV lighting is not necessary. The only time I see them during the day is when I scare one up doing yard work.



(along with some fun things for them to climb on).



Cut up some cardboard and lay it in the cage for them to use as hiding spots. You can get fancier later, but at least it's a start. Once you do this, though, you won't see the geckos until it gets dark!



I hope you have a tight-fitting lid for the cage!



Does anyone have any insight or know of any reliable web resources on proper care for baby med geckos?



I'm sure there are some out there, but I haven't found any recently in a cursory search. Small insects, tight lid, 75-85 deg F, mist the cage for them to drink, that's pretty much it. They're fairly accepting of less-than-perfect living conditions, as evidenced by their rapid spread to many parts of the world.
