Hey all,
I bought a Gecko at the Castle Hill reptile expo on sunday that was supposed to be a Banded Knob-tailed Gecko, says so right on the container lable.
However, when i bought it i was a bit rushed (wife in my ear saying we had to go cause our littlest one wasnt feeling well), i had a quick look and that was it.
Once i got home i gave him a good look over and the species description doesnt seem right to me. This Gecko looks much more like an N.amyae then N.wheeleri.
The tail is a dead give away (wheeleri haveing a much broader tail) and i feel stupid for not picking up on straight away.
Any ideas or confirmations?
Patterning on the head isnt as strong as most amyae pics iv seen however.
Cheers,
Rob.
