What gecko is this?

The Crimes has a photo of a brown devouring a red-bellied black and in the same article mentions a bloke being bitten by a red-bellied black whilst fishing at Lake Gininnderra.

Cute little fellow.

I occasionally see these blokes and the odd Velvet Tail at my place.

Really? I’m quite jealous. The Western (Belconnen) Wasteland is so herpetologically barren I don’t even have skinks.

Do you have a garden? If you give them rocks, surely they will come.

I have all sorts of lizard appropriate habitat, but as yet no lizards. There’s plenty of invertebrate diversity that they could consume, too. I may be too spatially disconnected from a source population, or the many cats roaming may be intercepting them.

It’s Bruce, Gordon’s brother.

awwwww! whatever it is, it’s adorable 🙂

I have had them at my place in the past. Don’t know the name though.

Lost its tail and grown a new one at some point.

First impression is Christinus marmoratus the Marbled Gecko. I need to have it in hand to ID it properly.
