It is a species of gecko that I can't ID from that picture alone unfortunately. Certainly not a newt either native or non native.

After looking long and hard at this and without any real reference to size. I'm about 90% certain it is Hemidactylus turcicus. |

You have a Turkish gecko ( H turcicus) there that has undergone dessication by freezing. No doubt the toes have been lost during the turmoil the body has encountered previous to you finding it. Brilliant. Although not so much for the lizard. |

My mourning geckos don't anyway. |
