Gekkonidae, Gekkoninae, Hemidactylus sp. and Hemidactylus triedus/subtriedrus, possibly a female, since the male is much stronger marked/punctated. There are still or ongoing rumours about taxonomy concerning Hemidactylus subtriedrus and Hemidactylus triedrus are different or synonym names. Personally I would go with Hemidactylus triedrus and Hemidactylus subtriedrus being a junior synonym.
