I was hoping that you could help ID this lizard that my fiancee found at work. We both believe it to be a leopard gecko, but having never had a leopard gecko this small, we're unsure. This picture shows my thumb nail next to the little fella'. I'd say the lizard is about 1 1/4" in length and VERY thin. If it is a leopard gecko, what should I be feeding him/her at this age? I'd love to save the little guy as I just lost mine last year and never replaced her.

where is it from? maybe a baby Mediterranean gecko. not 100% on ID though

That's the bizarre part. This gecko is from, as far as I know, the bathroom of the Oxford Valley Mall (PA, USA) Journeys Store... My fiancee found it running the floor of her store bathroom. If it were out in the wide world, we wouldn't have batted an eye at it, but it seems bizarre that it would end up there, so she brought it home to me to take care of it.

Hello:
If you found it in Pa. then chances are it is a Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus t. turcicus) They feed very well on small insects and grow very quickly. Good luck with it.
Have a Great Day!!!

perhaps someone will give you a positive ID. keep it warm and get some pinhead or small crickets. good luck.

If it was found anywhere in the southern U.S. or Mediterranian region, it is almost certainly a Mediterranian gecko. Either way it is definitely not a leopard gecko. A hatchling leopard would have a distinctive white crescent or collar mark behind the head. Also a normal specimen would be banded instead of speckled.
