Can you ID this Thai Gecko?

Hello, my name is Daniel. I recently moved to Thailand and I have these cute little guys running all over my house. Just wondering what type they are? Thanks for your time.

in the US herp trade they call them House Geckos.. they are very common in Thailand.. Where they refer to them as Thai Geckos..

totally harmless as you already know, good at controlling your annoying bugs, and GREAT for getting stubborn baby Alterna feeding!!

I haven't been able to get a shot of one yet, they are VERY quick. They are about 12" long dark grey with two bright yellow stripes down the back. They have a head shape that reminds me of a baby iguana. Any ideas? Thanks for the time, I'm going nuts better to know all these new herps! Very exciting for me. Dan

Sounds like a Liolepis spec and not a gecko.
Cheers
