What is this crazy lizard I found?

Question

So, I moved to Louisiana (from Michigan) about 9 months ago now, and I've seen the little green lizards that are everywhere... But the other night, this crazy-looking one got into my house (and I'm letting it stay cuz it eats bugs)! He's pink, and if you get REAL close, he has faint white markings... Unlike the green ones, he has a smaller head, black eyes, and funny little arms and legs (hey remind me of an alligator, the way they're shaped/how he moves). What the h**l is he?

Answer 1

Its a gecko just like on the commercial.(Mediteranian Gecko/Hemidactylus turcicus )

They are harmless.

It will most likely die indoors as they have a hard time finding a water source here.

If you get the chance catch it and put it outside.

Personally I think there really cute.

The other lizard you are seeing is a green anole.
