Chinese leopard geckos are kinda a common nave for chinese cave geckos. Eublepharis is a name that encompasses all eyelid geckos, so it doesn't mean just leopard gecko. The only scientific name that refers to leopard geckos are the eublepharis macularius.

To answer the original question: The geckos commonly referred to as "Chinese Leopard Geckos" are actually Goniurosaurus luii. These geckos can not be bred with Eublepharis macularius. These are two entirely different genuses with entirely different care requirements. Which brings me to my second point: Goniurosaurus geckos are not for beginners - they are infamously difficult to keep in captivity. Luii are probably the easiest of the genus though. So I wouldn't recommend getting one unless you are a somewhat advanced keeper.
To correct the above post: The genus Eublepharis are not the only geckos with eyelids. It's the family Eublepharidae that are the eyelid geckos. Eublepharis certainly is included in this genus, but so are Goniurosaurus, Coleonyx, Hemitheconyx, etc. Hope this cleared things up.
