need identification

I live in Northern New Jersey and dont think of having lizards around. I found a lizard in my warehouse and dont know what it is. I have tried to match it to native lizards to the area but it doesnt resemble anything. It is mainly light tan in color with a black striped tail. The eyes are dark in color and also his belly is dark in color. It is only about 1" long from head to end of tail. I have attached a photo.

Update...

I just thought of something...this lizard could be from anywhere. I get deliveries from all over the world. It actually is about 3" long. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be? I would really like to find out so I can take care of it.

I, not going to be of much help, but it does appear to be some type of tropical gecko. It would need very small [ probably 1/4 " ] crickets or fruitflies to eat. A small tank , planted with a few live or fake plants and just paper towel for the substrate until you have more info on it. Mist the tank once, maybe twice a day. Hopefully one of the gecko people will chime in. As a matter of fact, you may get a quicker answer if you post in a gecko forum.

That's a Mediterranean Gecko.

An introduced species that's now common from Florida to Texas.

I wondered if it possibly was that, just doesn't look like the ones I've seen at stores + shows because of the " transparent" look from the picture. They do require a lot of climbing areas, a small potted plant would be good [rinsed of pesticides] and misting the tank 2 - 3 times daily for humidity. You can use peat moss as a substrate, or just plain paper towels. Use a small heat lamp to get the temps. between 82 - 88 F daytime, 65-75 at night.
