First of all, I don't know much about cave geckos. I've always thought that they were interesting critters...but was told that WC's (which is all that is available here) were difficult to get to survive....so I stayed away from them. (I did realize that what you were posting about was NOT a leopard gecko...but I wasn't sure what it was.)

Does the gecko have red eyes? This might be why you were told it was a leopard gecko....

Since I don't keep cave geckos, I can't tell you if the following information is good or not...but here it is...
This site provides quite a bit of information and a way to contact the person...

Hope this helps and that yours will do well...now that you know what it is!

I have been researching Chinese Leopard Geckos or Chinese Cave Geckos or Cave geckos whatever you might want to call them for about 1/2 months and I am NOT an expert...But If you want to post a pic we could VERY easily tell if it is a cave gecko or just a "regular" Leopard gecko.
