I used to have Hemidactylus frenatus in my house in Australia, and they were my best friend. The first image of the spotting first didn't display on my computer, but I've now cleared my cache and I can see both pics and the pattern of the flat-tailed. Thanks again!

You are welcome Daniele.
The pattern on the back is very distinctive on the Flat-tailed.
And if you look carefully you can see the spines on the young Spiny.
Both occur in my house.They love the Mosquito's.

Thanks for the correction about the first picture Lenny. Marek, you should separate these into two spottings.
