I have heard of them before but the thing that sucks is handling stresses them out alot.You could still get one or 2 for show they are cute little buggers.

Don't be fooled. They are not leopard geckos. They are Japanese/Chines cave geckos, distant relatives of leopard geckos. the seller is labeling them to make an extra buck. They're nothing like leos.

It's not that the seller is "labeling them to make an extra buck."
Chinese Cave Geckos are widely known as Chinese Leopard Geckos. I've seen and heard them called that for quite a while - from other lizard people and on their care sheets.

My friend breeds them, and he's taken them out before to show me. If you can afford them, go for it. They're very cool creatures. From what I could see, like most geckos they're not social like leos (E. macularius), but they have their own unique beauty, and the adults are usually okay with brief periods of handling.
