Keys gecko ID

Well about a month ago I went to the keys for spring break... I did a lot of herping but could not find any sphaerodactylus. I collected a lot of gecko eggs hoping that they would be Sphaerodactylus. Two were found on Big Pine Key and two in Key West. Sooooooooo plenty of time went by and I didn't think they would hatch. Right before prom I opened the deli cup where the eggs were and see 3 little geckos running around out of the 4 eggs collected. I don't know what genus and species this geckos is...

The Spaeros are about as big as that little guy right there. They're not easy to spot at first. That is certainly a Hemidactylus sp. It's not turcicus and I don't think it is garnotii although I've never found them. I am 95% that gecko is H. mabouia.
