Default Jewelled Geckos

Hi guys, i pick up my two pretty little jewels tomorrow, have researched quite a bit, because until a couple weeks ago i'd never heard of them, just thought i'd ask if anyone here has them and any advice would be cool, i'm not new to the world os reps, and already have 2 leo's, 2 beardies, 1 corn, and 1 terrapin, and as i said i have done my research on these little guys, so any extra advice would be a bonus!!

what species is it you're talking about? the only gecko ive heard called 'jewelled' is Naultinus gemmaeus and theyre reallllly expensive and tricky to keep!

got the proper name or pictures?

yes thats them, wanted to check the spelling as i am rubbish with the proper names of most reps. from what i've read and from talking to the breeder, (a guy i have known for some time) they don't seem too bad to keep. have you ever kept them?

LOL, well it is not them then!!!!!!! they cost nothing like that!!!! i'll get pics tomorrow and post them! i have spent over a week researching these guys, you'd think i'd be able to remember the damn name!! Why can't reptiles just have simple names that are easy to remember and don't all sound alike!!

Maybe a jewelled curly-tail, Leiocephalus personatus? They are all different colours.
