Hi Eric - House geckos are in the genus Hemidactylus. Several different species are commonly available, including frenatus and maboui. Care for these guys is more or less identical. They are indeed hardy little lizards and a great first arboreal gecko. Here's a rather simplistic (better to keep it simple in the case of these guys) care sheet that gives basic care info. http://www.reptileallsorts.com/housegecko.htm

Good luck!
