Pachydactylus Scherzi - URGENT (W pic)

[Leopard.Geckerz]

So I came across an ad for a 99% pair of p. scherzi. I haven't heard of this specie or worked with them (to date, I am keeping: leos, fatties, underwoodisaurus milii (knob tailed gecko), crested geckos & pictus gecko) and information online is scarce. From prices I saw (250 each/600 trio) the price tag on these ones @ $100 negotiable seeming (can pick them up tomorrow if i want to) these seem like a steal.

He SAYS they are captive bred but I'm not sure and getting any information about them out of him is like pulling teeth.

He says he is keeping them on paper towel, feeding 1/4" crickets, about 85F ambient room temperature.

I live north of Toronto in Canada, and I can maintain that temperature. I just have no idea what sort of set up I'm looking at. I've done some research, but I'm really looking to hear if anyone else has kept these.

I'm including a picture, maybe you guys can judge their condition, .

I don't want to get them and hurt them out of lack of knowledge... they seem like a steal though, I like weird geckos/rare geckos, and if I COULD breed them, that might be cool, I'm also considering reselling them.

some technical info...

http://reptile-database.reptarium.c...s=scherzi&search_param=((taxon='Gekkonidae'))

they appear to be part of the Pachydactylus punctatus complex, but recently split off. Might be reason behind the 99%. That said, I'd possibly research what subspecies within that complex are possibly more commonly CB, check their care, and compare it [whatever subspecies] to these guys based upon their native environment and niche/microniche.

Additionally, you might try picking the minds of some of the geckophiles over at geckos unlimited. There are quite a few european posters there, as well as some americans, that have vast knowledge/experience with some of the more obscure species limitedly seen in the US.
