My first guess would be a Common House Gecko or Hemidactylus frenatus.

There a several varities. Take a look at this website to see if it's helpful.

Hope this helps and good luck with him/her.

he/she doesnt look like a house gecko though he doesnt climb the glass and his tail is different but he can drop his tail alittle dropped while the people that gave him/her to us were trying to catch him/her

its a mediterranean gecko which is a non native species. i would honestly just let it go outside near your porch light. if you want to keep it, a small glass exoterra would be perfect. i would use an under tank heater on one side, and they need pretty high humidity, around 70%. they only need a hot spot that's around 80 degrees. as far as substrate, i would use paper towel, coco fiber, or orchid moss. the two latter will help hold humidity better.
