That’s just their way of combining the names. Most people know them as crested geckos, but others call them eyelash geckos. It’s the same species, though. Chalk it up to the way of pet stores to help confuse the masses. (My local petsmart had normal leopard geckos listed as albinos, despite the very obvious black spots.)

yes they are the same

just like they give the hamsters panda, honey bear, etc it just makes them sound better eventhough they are all syrians

and about the albino thing sometimes when the vendors send us animals they, for example, send them as albino leo and they are actually regular leos

they sent us some blizzards as lucistic leos and we had to sell them as lucistics b/c that was the skew in our computer

so it doesnt mean they had them labeled wrong on purpose they just have to sell them like that

how tiny was the one your store has?

we got one in on friday and he is only about an inch long lol

he is sooo freakin adorable
