I'm not sure what type of gecko it is, or even if it's a gecko. Any help would be appreciated.

The picture is not very good but I think it is H. garnoti

Take a look at the link for a picture of one.

It is a gecko that is found in Flaorida but is a non-native species.

Hemidactylus garnotii

thanks for the info, can you give me the non-scientific name of it?

I found him in a trailer in AL, just runnin around in a roach trap. lol

Thanks for the info. Also, can you give me a care sheet or something? I am slightly experienced in reptiles but this would be my first gecko. thanks

The common name is indo-pacific gecko
You can treat them like house geckos (which they are commonly lumper into since house gecko is the common name of most any small gecko that will "infest" a house).
Care is pretty much the same as anoles so a florida or bermuda anole care sheet will do fine.

Basically, keep them warm, 80 to 85, and humid. Use a substrate that holds humidity like cocofiber/sand mix and mist lightly once a day. Keep a water dish and feed appropriate sized crickets. They are, like most geckos, nocturnal.

John

Looks like what everybody has said he might be, looks like the pic, in any case he's a NEAT looking lil guy !

Best wishes with your new buddy!

At first glance it looked to me like a Mediterranian Gecko or Turkish Gecko. I've found them in Florida, as well as in Houston and Austin Texas. I think I found one in Bolivia too, but that seems hard to believe. If it has a lot of little spherical bumps on it, that might be it.

Mediterranean geckos don't really look that much like Indo-Pacific Geckos, but the problem is they both can go really pale and dark, and mottled patterns, depending upon temperature and mood and who know what else.
