I would like to share this information with you!!

This new species of the Eublepharidae family was discovered in late 2.009 in south east asia, along with new frogs, bats, rats, plats and even a viper!

Here you can see some pics of the Goniurosaurus catbaensis

And here some links if you want to read more about this place, where there are aparently still many more species to discover!!

I really doubt these can be sold alredy since there have been very few seen in the world.... the belong in the same family but not the same gender of the leopard gecko, they are Eublepharidae family (movable eyelids, no lamellae in the toes...) but they are not Eublepharis they belong into the Goniurosaurus gender... they are like "cousins" :biggrin:
