thats the best picture i can get with my device =( i think its a common house gecko from the pictures ive looked at online..

If it was in your house then I would assume that's what it is. Do you live in the tropics? Are these common outside?

ive been doing a lot of online research over this and so far ive found that it is an invasive species where i live (East Texas) so i dont feel comfortable releasing it into the wild so im going to keep it in an old terrarium i have =) I set it up with a paper towel for substrate, a water dish, and a rock for hiding. and i was so relieved to find that they dont need uvb!!! thank you for responding!!

Oh my goodness, stephanie is so tiny! How is she doing?

There are hundreds of those all over the place where i live xD (Houston TX) if you found him in your house, he probably got in from outside. it happens to me a lot. usually i put them somewhere like on my house or on a plant.

But if your planning on keeping him, that's really cool! They get super cute!
