I would agree. There are many subspecies to it so they dont always look the same. That one looks like it has spikes on its tail while the ones we have here dont. If you can get a reference book with a lot of pictures I'm sure you can match someone to her.

thanks. From what I understand house gecko = Mediterranean gecko?
