HELP identifying gecko

[Bamboozoo]

Ditto! I am assuming that mine came in from Florida as it was un~named in a tank full of lizards that had arrived from there.

Mine had escaped from his environment and had been out in the house without being seen for approx 8 months. Caught him in the cricket aquarium just a few days ago. He was looking exactly the same as when he took off minus about a half inch of tail. I would say they are pretty hardy having done well on his own for that amount of time.

When the care sheet says come from USA.They are not native to the US they are a alien species to the US.

Yes I did understand that it was an invasive species in the states.

I originally tried to have him identified, he even had his own page on the web site for a while...never got an answer. I have never seen another being offered in the area. A fair number of the smaller lizards, like 5 line skinks, anoles, etc. are still wild caught in the southern states and shipped in. I remember paying 10.00 dollars for him.

Thanks everyone for the help just to let you know they are in new setup and settling in nicely and eating well, cheers.
