Found this teeny little one outside of work on my way home. Snatched it up and brought it home as a kind of project. I want to get into some more if the 'od-ball' type snakes which usually means WC. Soooo, figured I'd try and keep this little guy alive and kicking as a test for me as a keeper.

Location is Nashville TN

So, anyone know?

Thats just my guess, I will admit that I'm not 100% positive lol.

Sounds like my little gargoyle gecko hahaha

My gargs are pretty calm. Now if only I could get them to eat on their own!

My adult eats great...its the little one I'm having problems with :( I did get them both to eat a little treat today...mushed up some banana with a couple drops of water and they both loved it but that won't be given often. I may consider trying one of the banana flavored foods, though.

Mediterranean House Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is correct. They have been introduced all over the US and in many places around the world.

Can you send me a bit of a care sheet for it? I will have to pick up some small meal worms this weekend but won't have time till friday. Will he be ok without food till then or should I let him go? I read somewhere that they have to be fed daily o.o

Also, will small mealies work or will I have to go the cricket rout?
