This little guy was slowly making his way across the floor of a nice restaurant on our recent vacation to Curacao, and my mom almost stepped on him! He was so tiny. Once I got him on my hand and brought him over to the bushes, he didn't want to leave. Putting him down was the hardest thing I ever had to do xDD Does anyone know what he is??

I'm not sure what it is but looks like a member of the Hemidactylus.

I wish i could venture outside and find geckos!

Canada and our dang climates =[

Seriously?! I'm pretty sure it was very young, It looked like it hadn't gotten used to walking yet lol, it was very slow. I found another one a few days later that was slightly bigger and it was a fast little demon haha. So maybe they dont grow that much after they hatch?

3/4 - 2 3/8 inches long from snout to vent (4.4 - 6cm) 4 - 5 inches long including tail (10.2 - 12.7 cm)

That's what I found on a website for their size :)

Attached is a picture of my mediterranean gecko andromeda... she is no bigger now than when that photo was taken and I've had her close to 7 months now, so they do stay relitavely small even as adults... it was the translucent skin that made me think that one was a juvie...

reminds me of my little guy- he is a house gecko here in florida, Hemidactylus mabouia i think- they get to 5 inches long, and start out smaller than your little guy :D
he wandered into our house, we tried to catch and release, he lost the tail, felt bad, housed him, fattened him up, and he has become quite tame- now he is my sons gecko and is teaching him about responsability- he called him "Salzy" ~giggle~
oh, and he has trippled in size in 3 weeks @@
