looking at the scientific name, of which the second word, "catbaensis", seems to contain "cat ba" in the beginning.
Yes, the latin name of the Cat Ba leopard gecko is Goniurosaurus catbaensis.

Wonder how long it will be before some one gets one of these as a new pet.

Its kind of odd looking to me

I bet if they fattened it up a bit it wouldn't look quite so evil... very cool

They look awesome. I hope that they don't become a common pet though.
