I'd recommend you leave them in your garden tiny gecko's like that need tiny food and constantly which may be difficult to produce.
As well as being extremely delicate so a little too rough handled and it may be the end for the gecko.

And the most important is if you are outside of KZN it is more likely to be illegal too keep it too.

Oh and welcome to the forum!

As fooble has said these geckos are very delicate and easily injured rather put them back in your garden. For you to observe.
