Found unidentified gecko outside abandoned pet store

[kevhez]

A small pet store recently closed in my town. As I was walking past the building, I noticed a gecko, stuck to the outside window in a corner. I asked the nearby businesses if they knew how to reach the former owner. They said he had left town and left a lot of stuff inside the shop. It gets rather cold where I live, so I decided to catch the gecko and try to save it. It is brown in color with pads on its feet for climbing. It is also very fast and timid. It looks about 2 inches long and is missing the end of its tail. The wound looks recent. I will post a picture when I can. I do have a leopard gecko as a pet, but have no idea what type this is, or how to care for it. I Any suggestions are welcome, and as I said, I will try to get pics soon. Thank you.

Most of the time the gecko you describe is a common house gecko. Obviously I can't know without seeing a picture. You could google "mediterranean house gecko" or "house gecko" and see if the pictures look like the one you have.
