Default Cyrtodactylus Variegatus?

Are these even available? I was talking to guy the other day that said he had a pair. I have not seen them or seen any posts about them. I have found one picture of that species on the net. Are these available and does anyone have any information on them? Thanks for any help I can get.

They seem like they would be cool geckos, but slightly smaller than Peguensis. Its my understanding they have cavernous habitat so can be hard to come across. They also have a fairly large range for a specialist so I am sure theres some variation. I am not in the buying mode right now so have not kept up with anything coming in or available, but I am sure it is possible. If anything it would be a Thai local as Myanmar would be very difficult to obtain anything from right now. Maybe even Malaysia the way things keep popping up there. I would think if you seen a list on these, there would be a few other very unusual names on the list as well.

Thanks for you opinion. So it is not entirely impossible, just not likely at this time. I am going to try and get some photos from him, I am hoping that he is not mistaken and them end up being quadriVIRGATUS.

Thanks again

They could easily pass for C.quadrivirgatus to those who don't place much interest in the genus. The C. variegatus are the same length but stand out with enlarged tubercles all over the body (back) not seen in other similar sized/color species. They also seem to be a little stockier in build. The mainland C. quadrivirgatus come in listed as C. pubisulcus, but that species is endemic to Borneo. With the confusion of this genus, I can see the mistake happening.

Side note...one reason I think they list them as pubisulcus is they don't have the typical stripes describing quadrivirgatus, so assume they are the other similar species, but I have found the longitudinal lines are only constant in the Borneo populations and not in the mainland forms commonly imported.
