My wife's in New Orleans for the week and has caught a small gecko, a couple actually. She doesn't know much about geckos, I don't either about anything other than leo's, so we have no idea what it is.

She described it to me over the phone as a grey-brown and about the size of her thumb. She said it was a baby because it was small compared to the others she'd seen. She also said these gecko's are everywhere on the church that she's staying at.

Can anyone tell me what it is? Do you need more specifics? If so, what specifically would you like to know?

Sorry, no pictures. But I'll post some if/when she get's it/them home

And some dark mottled spots? Is the skin translucent? Then it's probably the widespread Mediterranean house gecko Hemidactylus turcicus.

I haven't actually seen it yet, I should tomorrow.

But we think it's a juvenile. Do you have, or know where I can find, a picture of a juvenile?

Thanks for the help.

As you can see, it's about the same as the adult, only teeny.

Here's a juvinile -
