Default Please help identify this gecko!

Got this little guy at the store today, he is so cute. Unfortunately I cannot tell what type of gecko he is, so right now I'm just using the stores recomended setup. I would like to talor his enclosure better for his breed though. At the the store it was listed as "Dwarf Fat Tail Gecko". He obviously does not have a fat tail so I'm wondering what it could be. Closest thing I saw was a stenodactylus sthenodactylus, but the spots on mine don't look the same. Please help!

Default Dwarf Gecko

If it helps, this gecko is able to vocalize. When the woman at the store was trying to grab it, it would make a squeaking noise.

Default S. slevini

It does look like S. slevini except it doesn't have the striped tail, but close!
