Need help identifying lizard

Hello!

This little guy snuck into a neighbor's luggage and came home from Mexico with her. We have him in a tank with a fake plant, a half hollow log, a water dish, lights, and some crickets. We don't know what kind of lizard he is, so we're not sure we have the right set up for him. Can anyone here help us identify this guy? BTW, the blob is some jelly the guy who caught the lizard out in the jar with him.

Thanks, Avia

Oh! He's about an inch and a half long, missing his tail.

I'm guessing some kind of house gecko (Hemidactylus sp.)?

Looked up pictures of house geckos, and I think you're right! Thank you so much. One more question - how do you maintain the humidity in the tank?

Mist 2 to 3 times a day-lightly-so that the tank dries between mistings.

Try feeding TRex Crested Gecko Diet, small crickets and wax worms.


The Crested Gecko Diet is available at PetSmart or PetCo.
