They are definitely the most beautiful geckos IMO!!!!
I keep two pairs, a nephrurus levis one, and a wheeleri one...
In my country they are very rare (but I live in Italy not in the USA) so I had to buy them from a Czech guy I meet in a big reptile show in my country...About the price, i paid each pair 350euros (consider that this is an honest price), so Yes they are expensive.
The care is almost the same of a leo, temps are a bit higher (32/33 instead of 30), but the substrate is different cause you have to keep them on pure and fine sand...Like giglamesh said, the levis dig A LOT, every morning I find their vivs full of tunnel and holes, while the wheeleri don't.
If you want, I suggest to search informations on nephrurus milii, they are similiar to the Knobtail but very cheap if compared to other nephrurus.
