So from the tiny bit of research I've started, this is more commonly called a Turner's gecko. I did read a care sheet on here about them and it mentioned they can be even easier than leopard geckos to keep. I've currently got 3 leopard geckos and just saw that someone had a Turner's geckos for sale locally (and a few other more rare reptiles, but they were more expensive and difficult to keep). I will soon have a 20 gallon tall fish tank that could be converted to a gecko tank. Would that be big enough for a single Turner's gecko? Is there anything else I should consider before looking into actually getting a Turner's gecko? I did read that they are somewhat similar to a Tokay and not as easily handled as most leos, but that's ok with me.

Looks like I'm getting a Turner's gecko (I'm still trying to sort out the scientific name since some things call it C. turneri and others P. Turneri). I've got a 20 gallon tall tank that will house one male. I keep reading that sand makes a good substrate but I know it's not good for Leos so I'm not sure if I should use it or not. I'm also finding conflicting info about feeding them, so any advice is welcome.
