Default Hemidactylus frenatus?

I've thought Sir William here was a Hemidactylus frenatus since I acquired him back in December '07, but now I'm not so sure....

I hardly ever see him--he just comes out of his coconut briefly when I put a cricket in for him. He stayed out a little extra the other night after getting his cricket so I snagged a pic of him. I then got lucky again later that night and saw him on the side of his house! I grabbed the camera and got another pic!

So yeah...what do you guys think he is?

Male
Default Proper identification characteristics.

Greetings friend,could you give me some more details about this gecko,like the lamellae count of the first and fourth toe.H. frenatus should have 4-5 lamellae under the first and 9-10 under fourth toe. the presence of pre-ano femoral pores,(if male) should be 26-36.Also 10-12 upper and 8-10 lower labials,along with a large,subtriangular mental are the characteristic of this species.Warm regards,Javed Ahmed.

Dear friend,
The pictures you have uploaded are surely are not that of H. frenatus, but instead might be of H. brookii, H. pursicus or H. tursicus.
I will let you know of the identity of this gecko soon.
Cheers.

Thanks for the info, guys! I did some searching on the three you listed, naja, and I'm thinking Sir William looks mostly like a turcicus compared to the other two. I'm eager to see what you come up with! Again, I appreciate the feedback!
