Someone gave him to a place where I volunteer, as he ran out of their luggage on return, and they didn't know what to do with him. He had found his way in there somehow. So I offered to take him home and give him some more careful care. 
I've never met the people who he stowed away with, so this is what I've been told.

Cheers. He adores T-Rex day gecko powder - not spooked about licking it off my finger, and had a cricket in his mouth literally 5 seconds after I turned the light on this morning. 
He has UV now, and seems pleased with himself.

Great looking gecko!
He looks happy and surprisingly tame? I would have thought he'd be pretty flighty. |

He's doing okay - but not as well as he was. Hasn't eaten today to my knowledge, and I sometimes find him sitting on the floor.
He has got a 10.0 UV compact for heat and light, somewhere to hide (shady), plants - can't think of anything else he would need?
He's tame in the sense that if I'm slow, I can gently pick him up. But if he gets spooked, he's like a bullet!

How about adding another small low wattage spot light to create a warmer basking spot for him, he drinking ok still?

Yep, he drinks well, and doesn't look dehydrated. I'll try that, see what works
Cheers
