The Nephrurus levis species is comprised of three subspecies: N.l.levis (the most widespread, central ranges), N.l.occidentalis (the most westerly) and N.l.pilbarensis (Pilbara restricted). Some texts suggest they are geographically isolated and some state they follow through, mixing with one another. They can interbreed and lost genetic integrity by doing so, so most breeders will not house different subspecies together.
These geckos are much more 'beginner friendly' than N.stellatus and are extremely undemanding captives that feed well and breed readily in a captive setting. They are also significantly less costly than N.stellatus.
