What a great picture!
And a beautiful leopardgecko that realy looks a lot as a E. turmenicus. In europe I have never seen a true E. turcmenicus being offered. As long as the supralabialia don`t touch the postmentalia, they are something else. Thats what Herbert Rösler told me, who did quite some research on this topic and obvserved them in the wild. None of the animals that were on the marked and being labeled as E. turcmenicus turned out to show this signs in the end.
But diagnosis in Eublepharis species and subspecies is quite difficult anyway and a clear phylogenetic study with dna AND pholidose diagnostic with a bigger number of examples would help a lot. But as popular as they are as pets- only very few people are working with them scientifically.
Inform us about it`s progress!

Thanks for the replies, even the one that stated that all 20+ in this country are not turcmenicus. Last I checked, animals vary throughout thier range, but what do I know LOL
