HELP. I found a baby leopard gecko in my garage. Help please

[thebearded56]

I assume it was someones pet because they aren't native in Nevada. For now, I have him in a box with an egg carton as a hide for it. It looks really young, possibly a baby. I don't have any tanks to put it in as my beardie is currently in one. Anyways, I need to know if there is anything that I use for my beardie, that can be used for the gecko. As of now, I am using the reptibasking spot lamp 75w for the gecko. Help!

Hi there....can you post a pic ? It's probably a western banded gecko, which are native to Nevada.

It says your pic is unavailable, but if you Google western banded gecko, you can compare it to what you found. I'm thinking that's most likely what it is, since they look very similar and it is native to your state.

Thanks very much. I looked it up and you are correct. Huge relief. Thanks again

You're welcome ! They really do look very similar, huh ?

Oh yeah they do. I was surprised to even see a gecko. We usually just have a lot of western fence and sagebrush lizards in our area, so it was rare to see this gecko.
