What species is this? It looks like house gecko but larger and oddly cute
He's a bearded dragon with a genetic defect that caused him to be born without proper scales or spikes.
Because of that, he's a "special needs" animal, so he needs lots of extra care to keep him healthy.
I'd definitely recommend (fully scaled) bearded dragons as pets! Mine is an excellent cuddle-buddy and constantly makes me smile with his dumb goofy antics and curiosity.
My guess is a Bearded Dragon
You're correct! But he has a genetic defect, so he looks pretty different from a standard healthy dragon.
