Default G. Hainanensis?

I just acquired these two geckos. They were sold to me as Chinese Cave Geckos, but the person who sold them to me couldn't tell me anything else. I suspect they're G. Hainanensis based on several pics I have seen of them, but I'd like someone to confirm it for me.

Male:





Female:





Are they too skinny? What weight should these guys be at? What size tank (in gallons, please) should a pair be housed in? I was told a ten gallon, but the guy didn't know much...

I have an idea of their general care, but I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some specifics, in particular their breeding habits. How often do they breed? How often does the female lay eggs? How should the eggs be incubated? What should a hatchling be fed?

My ones love Phoenix worms, but they don't seem to want to eat anything else. What else should I be feeding them? Do they need UVB light as they are nocturnal (Or perhaps they're not? Mine don't move during the day.)? Do they need D3 supplementation or should it be avoided? Do they need any additional supplementation?

Could someone point me in the direction of a good care sheet?

Thanks.

To me? Hainanesis, because they hare a lot similar to my couple of G. Hainanensis. They looks good, not skinny, the tail is regenerated, weight ok. They need to be keeped moist during the day (70-90%), no light at all (very shy gecko), and Ca+D3 supplement like leopard gecko. Mine eat superworm, crickets, roaches, mealworm... with no trouble. I mist once a day the terrarium.

I love Gonio
