Hemidactylus frenatus
Hemidactylus frenatus reaches an adult maximum length of 11 cm (4.5 in), including tail. In North America, Hemidactylus frenatus, a native of southeast Asia and the East Indies, has been introduced globally and can be found in many urban areas around the world.
A nocturnal gecko species, Hemidactylus frenatus primarily eats insects, though other geckos have been consumed. Peak activity is during the first few hours after sunset. When present in Texas, this species can be found feeding on nocturnal insects around artificial lights outside human dwellings.
These Gecko's have permanent residency on my windows at night. I am constantly having to catch the young ones to put them back outside. Wouldn't have it any other way.
