I'll definitely be taking a bunch more pictures soon. She is WC from Central Java. But she's been feeding like crazy and everything looks good with her so far. Her eyes are a steel blue and she also has blue above her eyes almost like she has eye shadow on LOL.

Related to your question about the eye color, I have theory about leucism in Tokays that I'd like to hopefully test. To my knowledge there has been only one true leucistic Tokay hatched - it was completely white with blue eyes upon hatching. Apart from this animal, other leucistics I know of start out normal and gradually turn from normal to calico to leucistic. These animals also have the black eyes you mention. Anyway, I believe that 99% of "leucistics" in collections are calicos. The few solid white ones with blue eyes that have been caught are actual single-gene recessive "true leucistics" that hatch out white. Anyway, this is all an educated guess - we'll see whether it actually holds true... Damn wish I'd have bought the WC blue-eyed solid white male that got offered to me a couple of months ago!

I'm sorry if my question is kind of obvious or dumb, but...
Are you guys saying that this Gecko was caught in the wild???

Yes. Most of the tokay morphs have come from wild caught animals. Very few of the tokay morphs are man made combo morphs...yet. However, with as many wild morphs as have been popping up, there will certainly be some combo stuff out on the market in the near future I'd assume.
