One of the most common geckos, native from the Mediterranean area in Europe and introduced in Florida (and other countries). http://www.californiaherps.com/lizards/pages/h.turcicus.html http://www.wildflorida.com/wildlife/lizards/Mediterranean_Gecko.php Please, verify! I am not 100% sure, but the greenish part between the eyes is quite typical. The spots and marking might differ.
