Hi There I am new to the forums.

I am in so call and we moved some equipment in our auto shop and
out popped this little guy.
His fat tail caught my i and afer a closer look i relized he was a gecko.
seems to have a injured toe.
i went to pick him up and he dropped his tail but it was FAT!

i decided to take care of him and got him a new tank to live in and some goodies.
fyi he only comes out at night

but can anyone tell me what type?
i didnt know there were geckos in so cal?

thanks for any input!

How big is it? If its smaller (like the size of your index finger or smaller) it looks like it could be a Mediterranean house gecko. There were TONS around my porch light at night when I lived in TX. Sorry to say I tried to keep a few in a heavily planted 10 gallon and they really didn't do well. After a couple weeks they started looking pretty thin I decided to release them.
