Name, please

Meet our garage gecko. We're still trying to decide what to name him (we've decided to attribute maleness to him unless given reasons not to - in many species the females don't need males to reproduce so one may be enough to generate more). He lives in the garage, courtesy of a missing piece of rubber strip from the garage door seal, and hides in the downspout when we create too much activity in the garage.

This picture was snapped through the sidelight glass by the front door yesterday (he's prettier in person) when the little guy ventured up the side of the house. I've read that Teflon is the only surface to which a gecko cannot stick. Pretty amazing footwork there. Anyway, we're letting him live in peace - he eats insects, including mosquitoes, so I figure "he who is not against you is for you".
