My previous comment must be pretty newbish to you reptile experts. Please specify the species next time to avoid embarrass a newbie like me.
Is this Chinese Cave gecko related to leopard gecko? From China? They look very similar in shape. The only difference is their colors. Can they crossbreed and produce something like Chinese Cave Leopard gecko?
theres nothing wrong with newbie questions, thats how you learn
a chinese cave gecko is exactly what it sounds like. a gecko that lives in the caves in china. being that they live in caves, and only come out at night to eat insects, they are very light and heat sensitive. the heat you would give a leopard gecko, would kill a cave gecko. that was a huge mistake made when they were a popular pet, killing most of them. now, almost all the cave geckos you see are imported from the wild. im thinking about getting pheo a female. i disregarded the idea earlier because his bones were too weak to resist a rejection (the female will lay into the neck of the male if she is not receptive to breeding) but it seems his bones are much stronger and he could hold his ground. id like to make some sort of impact on their captive population, even if its just a single clutch.
a cave gecko and a leopard gecko could in fact breed, but the eggs would more than likely be infertile, and if there is young, it is more than likely do die or be sterile.
