Good find, turcicus is getting harder to find in Florida. They are no longer hard to find in Rochester, NY, however.

They are quite common (or were a few years ago) on the USF campus Ken. They're also becoming somewhat common around the FSU campus here in Tallahassee. I just last night sprained my ankle jumping up to catch a gecko that I couldn't ID. It was certainly not turcicus. It was either H. mabouia or H. frenatus. Neither of which have been recorded here before.

Yea we can keep anything that's not threatened or endangered as far as I know. I don't believe there are any rules about keeping exotics from the wild. Most wildlife officers would probably encourage the removal of exotics. Hemidactylus turcicus is definitely an exotic.

In Georgia we are not allowed to keep native non venomous species.

Oh yea, I forgot my statement only included Florida. Each state has its own rules.

Would that include a gecko like the one pictured above. A non-native but established exotic. Just curious.
