Found this little guy while out looking for snakes in my Great Aunt's yard near Fort Worth, TX. I know little about kinds of geckos, but would like to ID him.

He measured at about 2.5 inches. There was a bigger one where I found him- about four inches, seemed to be the same species and all, but I didn't get any good shots of him. I was with my little cousin (a Texas native). She wouldn't grab the big one, because "they bite". XD

I also saw some geckos on the windows at night- they seemed to be a different breed, though. This guy can't climb on glass, from what I saw.

Looks like a Mediterranean Gecko: Hemidactylus turcicus

They are found in many spots throughout the southern and western US. I've found them in Waco and Galveston TX.

That's what I was suspecting this little guy was. Thank you very much!
