Can anyone identify my gecko?

[Ravi]

We've had this little guy for a little while and I haven't been able to figure out what it is. I want to make sure we are taking the right care of it. My wife got it for my daughter from a friend. It eats fruit pastes, is an escape artist, jumps a couple feet from person to person, and can climb just about any surface. I'm hoping someone here will recognize the type so I can find out more about what environment and food it needs.
Thanks for taking a look.

Kinda looks like a gargoyle. I'm too good at IDing most geckos though. They all look the same to me! He looks great, though.

Thank you Akari. I think you are right. Maybe the morph is rare?? I've been able to find fairly similar looking geckos in google images, but nothing that is real close. The gargoyle images are the closest I've found so thanks for that!

Sure thing

I'm not sure if it's a morph or just not a garg, but most I see are grey or brown. Yours does look a bit different in color than the brown ones I usually see. Someone who knows for sure should be along soon.

Thanks again Akari. My wife found out that it is called a Chahua Lechionis. The only images I could find are here GIANTGECKOS Sure enough, that's the one.

Glad you figured it out! I saw some baby ones of these at a show the other day. Very neat little geckos.
