someone was asking me what kind of gecko this is, he said they run all over around his house. I dont know what it is, it kinda looked like a golden gecko but I dont know.

Looks like a Mediterranean gecko (Hemidactylus turicus turicus)to me, but I am no expert in geckos.
Where abouts do you live?

to me it looks a lil' bit to "smooth" to be a mediterranean(BLASTED SPELLIN"!!! grr)

Hello Everyone:
The lizard in the photo is indeed a Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus t. turcicus).
Have a Great Day!!!

Its just a normal house gecko, we have 'em here too, they're basically worldwide

Got Herps?

that looks like a house gecko... where do you live?? all i know for sure is that it is in the Hemidactylus genus

its not at my house, someone on the net just asked me what kind it was & I didnt know for sure so I figured Id ask the pro's
It looks much bigger then any house geckos I have ever seen, I told him it prolly wasnt one

I'm pretty dern sure. Meditterranean Geckos are commonly found in the Southern US from Florida to TX. They live where ever they can hide. They eat crickets and other creepy crawlies. The best time to see these is at night by a light where plenty of moths are. I've seen several of these before and am 100% confident that is what you have there.
