Looks like a young Cosymbotus platyurus that we have in Asia

Florida is tough because there are so many alien lizard species there.

There have been four species of Hemidactylus sp. geckos introduced into Florida...

I can't tell if the one in the photo has spots or not. You might have to look into it. I'm not sure if it is just developing spots (if the species even goes through such a process) or perhaps its an entirely different species.
