Please i.d. this gecko -Thanks!

I bought this from a local pet store. It was in a cage with green anoles and the cage was labeled "Green anoles and House gecko".... though it is a healthy, six inch, male something other than as labeled. It was originally dark rusty brown with some yellow and spots, but within moments can change to this color scheme which it wears in its new terrarium most of the time.

Thanks for the identification. Now does anyone have a female I can buy?

Oedura monilis!!!!!! very nice one too. full grown small spotted male. send him my way if you like

Can O. monilis look dark if they are in a pet shop poor caging setup? My online research makes me think O. monilis also, but then I found a link to this pic which is what he looked like in the shop: (Oedura tryoni)

Do O. monilis get this big ??

I have seen a few pretty good sized males. Im in a worse predicament........I have 3 males and no females. PM me Kevin.

tyroni are very rare in the hobby. monilis became extremely common for a while, but now are a bit harder to find.

Definitely looks like an O. monilis. I can't believe you found this guy in a pet shop! That is ridiculous that they had it marked as a house gecko. What did you pay for it, $6-10? Quite the steal if you got it for a house gecko price.
