That is what I thought too at first but they do not have those spikey scales. the closest I have been able to find was a diamond gecko (Hemidactylus tanganicus)

Here's a photo of a White Spotted Gecko and it has the same spiky skin and tail as the ones in your photos.

Hello:
The gecko in the picture is indeed a Bibron's Gecko (Pachydactylus bibroni). The species is widespread and fairly common. They do well in captivity and are inexpensive.
Have a Great Day!!!
