Can anyone please tell me what type of gecko that this is?

It seems to most closely resemble a turnip gecko or a mourning gecko but doesn't quite look exactly like either
Any info abiut this gecko would also be appreciated- I am thinking of buying 2 of them but I would like to know their needs first
Thanks
Sandy

Oh Jeez-I didn't realise that the pic would come up so large-sorry about that
and btw-this gecko was listed as a thick tail-I found out that it doesn't look anything like a thick tail gecko

That's a marbled gecko. They're native to southern Australia. I've had experience with those before. Neat gex, but not one for handling. Now I forget, there's either two species with the same common name, or one species with an old and a new scientific name. Anyway, the two scientific names associated with marbled geckos are Christinus marmoratus and Gekko grosmanni.
