Default Gecko Smithi or Gecko Stentor

I just got this little guy. I'm not sure if s/he's a gecko smithi or gecko stentor. I've looked both up and come across pictures of both looking like my little guy. Any help?

exact same care as a tokay, only WC's prefer larger prey items (small birds, lol) but will normally do fine on large crickets and roaches. super worms might work well too.

Wild Caught as opposed to Captive Bred (CB). Yours is probably a LTC or Long Term Captive, meaning it's been in captivity for at least 6 months or so.

Your gecko, if it is full size, could easily accept prey items up to 3.5-4cm or more.

It's a year and a half old. About 10" full size, head to tail. I found it on a local ad. I assume they got it from the pet store.

they'll get 12"+ by the time they're full grown. most geckos don't hit their true full size until 2-3 years old.
