    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
