My daughter
Julianna found this Gecko on the mosquito netting on the house sliding door and
took the following photos of it as well. I sent the photos to Mansur Al Fahad
who is excellent at identification of most living things for identification and
he kindly replied with the following. “The fingers show a Hemidactylus species, we have two on the eastern cost of our
country all found in houses and buildings, H
flaviviridis and H persicus,
the first one its more widespread and bigger than another. Your photos show
some marks on the back which H
flaviviridis has”. As a result this Gecko is a Yellow Bellied House Gecko a
species I have seen before in the property. An interesting thing about this
Gecko is that it appears to be shedding its skin something young Geckos do. The
small size of this individual supports the identification as a juvenile of the
species.
