I did too at first glance while checking my cookers, then I seen the head shape and eyes and let out a breathe, It's smaller than a typical leo hatchling and is an AMEL velvet gecko for the non latin speekers.
Dude I knew it!! I was about to post and ask you if it was a deformity or a banded gecko, but I didn't wanna sound stupid. I guess I'm not..... stupid that is! lol Velvet gecko huh? Very cool man!!
