Identify this guy?

I found this tiny fellow at in the television studio where I work. I chose not to just release him outside the studio, because it's located in the middle of downtown. I brought him home, put him in a keeper and gave him the tiniest crickets I could find, some lettuce, and a cricket water pack. I have some moss I will be putting in with him later, after he eats a cricket or two. I've come across these geckos in our area before, but I just can't remember what type they are. If anyone can tell me the species, I would really appreciate it. By the way, I live in Panama City, Florida, so you know the region.

I already posted this message in the Geckos forum, but received no replies.

It looks to me like a regular old House Gecko -- one of your local invasives For some reason or another they seem to have no problem with an urban lifestyle

Thanks, the more I look at pictures of the Tropical House Gecko, the more they look like this little guy. I'm going to keep him for a bit, get him bigger and healthier and then let him out in my lizard-filled backyard. With a little size on him, he should fare outside quite well.

I'm starting to really get attached to geckos though, I might end up getting a Golden Gecko later on. ^_^
