I just bought a house and every time it rains, these little guys come into my house. They seem to be any where between 1-3 inches long. They have a light pink tint to their skin but it is almost transparent. They have white dots on their bodies and stripes on their tails. Does anyone know what type they are?

Hi,

it´s Hemidactylus turcicus. This is a juvenile.

Kind regards

Bjoern

Thank you very much for the info. Now that I have a name for my little house guests, I can learn much more about them. I have already found several pictures that match perfectly. Again thank you.

Nice ! Its sad that theres only like 5 types of lizards that lives in canada, and only in the hottest parts. I would really love to see them around my house

They would eat all the bugs !
Good luck with your guest

Mediterranean House Gecko to be right , When people talk about house gecko it is generally about the Common house gecko.

such cute little houseguests- here in ohio we mostly seem to get large, loud houseflies and big nasty spiders. I wish I got geckos visiting me.

Haha , Same thing for me. I wish there was more reptiles here. There is a couple of grass snakes , Frogs and salamanders but no Lizards at all where i live. Winter is too cold for them.
