Hemidactylus turcicus
This gecko was resting on my Oleander plant pot, running around all over the grass, and foliage on plants. This is very irregular for these geckos, because they usually come out and is found at night. This gecko has beautiful black and cream spots, and displays many brown patches which can be seen in the 4th picture. This species is originally an introduced species to most of the world, originally from the mediterranean. Their bellies or undersides are somewhat translucent. It is currently unknown what impact the geckos have on native wildlife in the countries they have invaded.
In my garden, Fort worth, Texas.
This gecko marks my 1-year anniversary, and i'm glad to say I found out, and contributed to PN.
