Spring Break Find

Over spring break after a nice rain storm on a humid day, I went to move the trashcans to the road, as it was a Monday morning. Once I moved it I noticed a small grey gecko under the trash can. I quickly identified it as the mediterranean gecko, Hemadactylus turcicus, the only species of gecko in our area.
This species was introduced to this area, so it is non-native. It had big toe pads, and as it crawled up my arm I could feel them put to use. They like to live near buildings so it is no wonder that I found him on a perfectly humid day hanging out under the trash cans.
