This gecko spends a lot of time licking the peristomes of my Nepenthes mirabis, very cute to watch from a distance, hard to photograph because he's a wary little guy.

Most gecko species are nocturnal or crepuscular (active at dusk or dawn).

They also don't have the intricate markings that yours has...the ones here are pale gray, reminding me of little "ghost lizards" and hard to spot against white trim/ceiling.

If he stretched out straight, he'd be about 3 inches/7.5cm. That's about middling size compared to other geckos around here. We have lots! In urban areas they're mostly Asian House Geckos and tend to be plain grey or beige when they stay indoors but can put on camo patterns outdoors. The one on my Nep has a fancier pattern than others I've seen. Just hoping he might be a native species but unlikely because they've been pushed out by the Asian ones (accidentally introduced). I'll try to get a close look at him.
