The description for the House Gecko sounds about right - pinkish/brown and
translucent. But the photo on the web site looks nothing like it. We
occaisionally get this one in the house. I assume they must have been a
babies since the were only 1.5" to 2" long.

During summer months, I see the bright green lizards (Anoles) crawling
around the shrubbery quite often.

the tail would break off. Any idea what species it might have been?

Most likely
Mediterranean House Geckos.

I have them all over, and they breed in my attic.

I get very, very few palmetto bugs anymore, and the cats get whatever
ones get past the geckos. ;-)
