help found a stowaway what is it ?

I know this was mentioned earlier but I am would really lean towards a Mediterranean gecko - the large "bumps" on the sides of him are highly suggestive. Also the fact that these geckos tend to be quite hardy and have recently expanded their territory into the southern US makes sense if the plant came from Florida!

I don't think it's a Mediterranean Gecko... I have had many and they do not look like this. The belly pic actually sort of looks like a med gecko, but the dark brown pattern on the top doesn't seem like any I have had...

He seems to be happy he eats and drinks I love when he licks his little eyes

I had a tokay gecko for years, I bought him because the eye licks were so funny! MEANEST. LIZARD. EVER.

It still looks different than the Mediterranean geckos that I have encountered... they are more of a translucent white/pink/bluish... at least from my memory... I caught some on my porch randomly in Atlanta, GA... they have all unfortunately been eaten...

I still have a tokay named him nibbles cuz he didn't bite that hard as a baby turns out jaws would have been a more suitable name lol

It is a mourning gecko.

No it isn't, if you look up mourning geckos you get a totally different body style not to mention patterning and colors.

I disagree. I think it looks quite similar to many Mourning Gecko pictures that I am finding...

 

[Andee]

In my opinion the head shape is totally wrong. However the body can change with time. If it is a mourning gecko you will get fertilized eggs without another gecko being in the cage since they are parthenogenic.

It's an Ontario Freeloader Gecko. Very rare...

It is most definitely a freeloader I gave him his food bill for the week and I am still waiting for money

They do go by a few other names. Opportunistic Canadian Gecko as well as the Unexpected Responsibility Gecko.

I'm not very clued up on other gecko species, but I wouldn't rule out the Med gecko. I live between France and Kenya, where there are a lot to be found, and they certainly can go dark brown (within a minute, like chameleons).

Mediterranean house geckos are well known for being available in Florida. And his tail has the correct markings. If he has the correct skin texture I would agree he is most likely one.
