oh yeh looks similar (edited) lol
Well i was trying to remember the name of a similar looking gecko they had at my local, and remembered they were moorish, i typed it in google and the images look exactly like it, but ive typed in bibrons and yus it is.  (so thats how i cam up with moorish.lol it was blunt but i was'nt sure so...o.0) lol edit: hmmm im sure someone else can help, but i still think moorish due to the eyes...are they the same kind of species maybe? they look more like the moorish when i type the name in. lol

He looks quite healthy but i cant see the whole shape of his body.
AFter studying the pics on google more, i'd say he is a moorish gecko. He does'nt have the white spots that bibrons seem too, and the colours are more like moorish and the eye colours too.  Bibrons....  they look so similar...o.0..i hope thye were named right! lol

i found this...it was under 'look a likes'
Wall and Bibron's Geckos Three larger geckos, two referred to as wall geckos and the third as Bibron's gecko, are also now established in south and central Florida. The two wall geckos are the Moorish gecko (Tarentola mauritanica) and the white-spotted gecko (T. annularis). Because of its rough scalation, the Moorish gecko (which is also established in San Diego County, California) is referred to as the crocodile gecko by many hobbyists. The white-spotted gecko derives its common name from four white tubercles on the shoulders. Like the Moorish gecko and the Bibron's gecko, the white-spotted gecko is robust in build and attains a length of about 7 inches. Bibron's gecko (Pachydactylus bibroni) became established in the 1970s in a small area of Manatee County, Florida, after specimens were set loose in a small greenhouse for pest control. The geckos quickly spread to nearby houses, but apparently have not colonized more than an additional block or two in the last 30 years. i just looked at something that suggests it is a bibrons.
