 Identify for me please


I purchased this guy about a year ago from a local pet store. It was in a tank with a larger Gecko of the same species. The other gecko was about 6 inches long. Lesko is about 4 1/2 inches now.
Lesko is nocturnal, very shy, his toes curl under when not wall climbing. Not sure of sex.
He lives in a 120 gallon tank with my water dragon & anole. The Gecko is the night shift you might say.
The tank is set up as a forest with live plants, a water fall, and water feature that is aprox. 25% of the tanks floor, separated by a short permanently affixed glass divider only about 4 inches deep.
There are also in the water feature a cray fish, several feeder fish and a small bull catfish ( 2 inches at present). warm side of tank is 85 to 90 during the day, cool side runs about 75 to 80.
Primary food source are crickets. With Phoenix worms now and then. I was told when I purchased Lesko that it was a Bally (or Ballie) Gecko. Ive not been able to find any reference info for that. Can any one identify it for sure? I’ve included a belly shot too.

Not bad, they all live and feed without a squabble. Very large tank. All three have coexisted for better than a year. the single crayfish 4 feeder fish and single catfish keep the bottom of the water tank, or swimming pool clean. I clean the pool about every 10 day’s with very little debris. Between them and the 40 gpm filter I have running concealed inside turtle cliff water fall, only 7 to 8 gallons of 4 to 5 inch deep of water with a pea gravel bottom for good water circulation to the filter pump.. Its a very clean, crystal clear environment.
The dragon & anole were very young when introduced. They hang on one another when startled. The gecko "only" comes out after midnight. I’m not sure the other 2 even know he’s there. The biggest problem I have is the feeder fish keep having babies,, " good water quality". but the catfish loves to suck em up when they do. Cause Im not sure, but i dont think he’s a croc. gecko. The images I’ve seen on the web dont resemble him in the tail.

So can anyone identify this guy, Or not?

I think you may be on to something. Can’t be sure about the Bribons, but the bribons are one of the thick toed gecko’s along with Turners and several others. To date this is the best ID I’ve had. Thanks for putting me on the correct path Cooking Guy..
