That is a Gecko, maybe a leopard gecko? Not quite sure. It is missing it's tail also. It's not actually a Amphibian at all, a Reptile actually. -Seth

I believe its a Common House Gecko, Hemidactylus frenatus

Yea, not an amphibian. For sure a gecko of some sorts, looks like a house gecko. Not a leopard gecko, leopard geckos don't have toe pads and can't climb surfaces.

OK thanks for clarifying that, I am not too good with reptiles.

That's plausible, its an introduced species found in Dallas and Galveston Counties according to this: Common House Gecko | Herps of Texas.
I think its more likely to be a Mediterranean House Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus), another introduced species which can be found in the Southern and Eastern parts of the state. http://www.herpsoftexas.org/content/mediterranean-house-gecko.

AMurry24537:@ChocoUniversa, Buy some ammonia and an eyedropper from Walmart and a water test kit for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Figure out (through testing) how many drops it will take to get the ammonia level to the test's maximum measurement. Add that same number of drops every 24 hours. Eventually, the ammonia will start to go down as it's converted to nitrites. Keep adding ammonia. The nitrite levels will spike for a while and then they too will start to go down as they convert to nitrates. These you get rid of by doing water changes, which you should be doing anyway throughout the process. Once all of these are at low levels, your aquarium is ready. It takes about a month, maybe two (mine took a month and a half). Be sure to add ammonia until the day of or the day before you add your axolotl.+1

Kmia_13:Hey guys, this is my first time using this so bear with me. I have an adult axie who looks like he’s developed some fungus on gills. It’s still really small and only on one part. I put him in a 10 gal quarantine tank with an Indian almond leaf. I want to give him a black tea bath but not sure if I can add my black tea to the tank with the Indian almond leaf in there. Any advice?+1

madcaplaughs:@BChen3695, what are your parameters and temp? The fact that they're raised bumps could indicate fungus or bacterial infection.+2
