Thank you so much for providing the name! It is embarrassing that I don't even know this...

Hi sorry to bother again; but a contact suggested it might be the Bynoe's gecko. So, is it the Asian house gecko or Bynoe's? Please advise.

Asian. A bynoes gecko is terrestrial, doesn't have the pads that asian house geckos do. Also has different colouration etc.

For a comparison to your gecko, a bynoes gecko looks like this: http://www.arod.com.au/arod/reptilia/Squamata/Gekkonidae/Heteronotia/binoei

Convinced. Thank you. You are good with these.

[MENTION=42218]Kiwi77[/MENTION] Do you have and more photos of the gecko in question? A shot from directly above that clrealy shows the digits of any hand or foot is what I am really after, or a different perspective on the tail of the animal.

Hi BlueTongue1, please additional photos; am afraid they are not any better. Thank you again for offering to look at them.

Unfortunately the photo, while a better angle, is stiil too blurry to observe the diagnostic features I was hoping to see. So unfortunately I cannot confirm or revise the ID given. Thanks for the extra effort made.

Its not a binoes, although it does have similar colours. More likely to be a AHG or a gehyra species.
