Hemidactylus frenatus
Photo take at night in my porch light this is the most common gecko in this area nocturnal habitat, is a native of southeastern Asia.They grow to a length of between three to 7.5–15 cm, and live for about five years. These small geckos are harmless, and are not venomous. Medium to large geckos may bite if distressed, however their bite is gentle and will not pierce skin.
Spread around the world by ships, these geckos are now common in the Deep South of the United States, large parts of tropical and sub-tropical Australia, and many other countries in South and Central America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
