From here it almost looks like a golden gecko but its too light.
I have no clue, i'd just say a Mediterranean gecko they are the most common.

Where is that in Mexico. Mexico is a big place. There are native climbing geckos down there.

Id also say a Mediterranean house gecko I live in Phoenix and see them every night they are full grown in that picture but very hostile almost like a tokay live on walls eating bugs at night all over houses

I'll go ahead and "up" my certainty: I'm 99% sure the animal you pictured is Gehyra mutilata. Foot structure unlike that of Gekko or Hemidactylus. Semi-transparent skin is another giveaway...

not a super expert, but im gonna say its probably not a mediteranean gecko. just cuz of that crazy line going down its back. ive never seen that on any of the geckos here.
