Could fimbriatus and henkely interbreed? Im wondering now if there was a mix up. I bought a captive hatched adult "fimbriatus pair" from a man at lee watson's. He only told me they were "giant leaf-tails", i visually identified that they were fimbriatus online. The today I met this other guy who had a gecko that looked identical to mine except a lot darker and a little smaller(only about 1in, mine are 10in to tip of tail). He told me they were "henkeli." Although ive realized of course their experience exceeds mine however the remarkable similarity between body fringe, toe pads, eyes, and head made me think i have the same type as the one i saw, except i dont know which is which. Confusing, haha, thanks for any input.

LOok at their eyes. the eyes of fimbriatus have red striations in a circular pattern.

Henkeli don't.

yea, when i think of the fimbriatus eyes, i think of sauron's eye in the lord of the rings. its a cheesy comparison, but i always thought it looked like the fimbriatus had fire in their eyes. henks have some veins in there, but they arent nearly as pronounced in concentric rings like in the fims.
