What kind of gecko is this???

[herpencounter]

Hi! I have this gecko that I need some help identifying.

This is how I found him/her, I had ordered some crickets and cricket feed, and in one of the boxes with cricket feed I found this gecko.

This is what I know about him/her we will call it a her. OK!

She is 2 inches.
She is a gecko that is found in Florida (I know this because the place I get my crickets from is in Florida and i live in Florida).
She eats 4 to 7 1/4 inch crickets every other day.

I think she is a Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus). :main_huh:

Mediterranean Geckos are generally light gray or almost white in color but may have some darker mottling. This species is most easily distinguished by its bumpy or warty skin (witch she has).

But I want to get your opinions.

Here is a picture.

Yup... that's exactly what she look like! She has a fairly new regenerated tail, so keep feeding her.

Yeah when I took her out of the box, she jumped out of my hand and when I finally got her the tail fell off I was disappointed because I know that it would not look the same.

Thanks for your help.
