Well I recently got back from my Wedding & Honeymoon in the Cook Islands and snapped this picture in our beachfront hut of one of the "local" geckos. This fella is known as Tuāvaru to the locals or commonly Oceanic Gecko (Gehyra oceanic) They are an interesting little gecko that growls when...

Hey all, I found this pic on the net, not sure if its real

Hi, I had fun cobbling a video together this afternoon. I used video footage I took last night with my mobile phone, so please excuse the quality. I'm not all that happy with the music either. It's so much better with the Predator theme, but posting that version would have been breaking...

Hi, This is my first herping post! I don't know if it's strictly "field" herping because I didn't actually have to go anywhere, and also my Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia is still lost in a box somewhere, but hey. I last lived in inner-city Melbourne and geckoes and frogs, however...

I found this on the footpath this morning in the middle of sydney. Was under powerlines so i dont know if a bird had it and dropped it or where it came from. What the hell is it? Some sort of corn snake?

ive alway wondered what the actual name is for these little guys they're everywhere

I've just returned from a week in Darwin (first time there!). My friend's band played *******fest (anyone here go?!) and I just went along for a holiday. Didn't get to go proper herping but this is what I came across in the backyard of the house we were staying at. Gehyra australis Asian...

For Sale - Ball/Royal Pythons Anyone that lives in Australia and owns and breeds reptiles knows exotics are illegal. Putting an advertisment on petpages is like an open invitation for these people to be charged and their animals destroyed. :/

Our Spotted has not eaten once in the last 20 weeks and that was 14 weeks ago.... She was only born in January this year so she is still a youngy.... It is Spring now and the temps have gotten higher but she is still very inactive and doesn't move around a lot... She was shedding regulary but...

Hi all, We have a 9 month old jungle that still wont eat on it's own, we have had to force feed it now 4 times but is it good to continue to force feed them or should we take him to the vet? He is the runt of the clutch and always been a lot smaller then the rest. Any help would be appreciated.

In June, I visited the Maliau Basin Reserve in Sabah with a group of butterfly photographers from Malaysia and Singapore. I met the group on the net and they kindly invited me along to participate in a survey of the butterflies near the headquarters of the reserve. I was happy to visit...

This is a Gecko I used to rescue in the Gulf while I was there.... How cool is his tail? :D Crystal

Is it actually legal anywhere to keep these? I would think not as they're exotic and they're pests, but I'm curious, because they get big and I like the idea of a big Anuran.

I haven't got a reptile book at home so I can't ID it. He'd just had a shed and was only 20mm svl

As I am not too great with my gecko IDs, I'm throwing the ball to you. This little girl was given to me tonight by a mate who is a sparky. He was working on a water heater and found her in the electrical panel. She has large cheek pouches (like I've seen in Maddy Day Geckos) and appears to...

Hey guys and girls i have been seeing a couple of these gecko think there asian but they dont have a spikey tail. thanks Anyone know what these are

Saw this at the place we stayed at in Broome, any ideas? Would've been around 20cm?

Hi PPL Can anyone ID this cute little fella that I found in the garden today

I bought myself a Cam Dig Microscope today and I thought I would post some pics I took with it, this geko was was about 75mm long. And just for interest sake, is this a asian house geko? Sorry for the incorrect spelling of Gecko.

After another exotic thread being blow out of proportion, i'm after all the license reptile rescuers out there. What are some of the strangest things you've seen, what are some of your best rescues. I'll start every one off, I was called for a big green snake, fairly thick, in Sydney's...

Does anyone know what sort of geko this is? All I usually get are these

Hi I just got back from Fiji and was just wondering if anyone could ID these geckos and toads that I saw there? The were out every night in the hundreds so just wondering if anyone knew what they were. Thanks, Andy

I have a little wild baby gecko running about on me with a continual yellow dot central to the spine marking. I can't see it at the moment, it's on my back. And staying there, it seems. Enjoying hiding under my clothing! lol :D Sorry I can't describe it anymore. Blessings Twopaw

just wondering if this lil guy is an asian house gecko my bf found him inside last night. Kinda hard to tell as they seem to vary in colour. thanks

hi guys was just wondering what wild geckos can be found in the nth melbourne area, yeaterday morning i found a gecko on my bathroom ceiling, i think it was a asian house gecko but not sure as i dont no much about them and this is the first time ever i have seen one in the 22yrs i have lived in...

My Nanna found this guy, dead in her kitchen the other day. Just wondering what it was. She said there is a few more ranging from 10cm-20cm. I don't know much about gecko's so not sure if it is an Asian House Gecko or not... I have read that some people kill them because they are a 'pest'...

Can anyone give me a list of Australian arboreal reptiles, snakes, lizards and monitors? I did a quick google but cant find anything. Thanks Ben

i was wondering can you keep asian house geckos im not trying to start anything it just popped in my head as when we lived in darwin there was thousands of them. and i was just wondering.i thought it would be illegal as their exotic.

Hope this works, Some people will do anything for a buck lol For Sale - Asian House Gecko - petpages.com.au

im wondering i found a really small baby asian house gecko in my room and im wondering if i can keep it i already no what they eat and what care they need but if i cant keep it tell me and i will let it go tonight thanks

I just love the look, size and temperament of the Ball Python. Is there a petition we can organise and sign to send to the government to have an exception on this species?? I can't be the only one that wants one.

what type of gecko is this the little guy was behind my dressing table

Do i need to have a licence to capture wild geckos and bred them just need some advice just in case i do something illegal and if i do need a licence where can i get one i live in cairns, QLD and what are good geckos to bred?

I didn't want to steal another thread (where do they came from) but the last few posts raised some questions and thoughts. What conservation value do captive reptiles have? They can never be released to the wild (not the ones we keep and breed anyway), so how are we contributing to...

Is it actually possible to feed these guys in Melbourne on a reasonable price range? Around $100 for each skink meal, right? And more for a gecko.

So I've been thinking about catching a small gecko or two to feed to my stimmy (8 months old) so he's got something live to eat. Just wondering if the gecko could do any damage to my little dude, or if he'll be poisonous to him or anything. Cheers guys!

Does anyone have a list of like 1 to 10 of good lizards to handle? Disregard Beardies, Blueys and Shingles, please.

ok everyone will think im a loser but i got home to find my idiot cat had caught a chinese house gecko and its missing its tail and some skin and was very stressed so i bathed wounds in salt water and have him resting in a tank, im a vet nurse and have a must save everything mechanism lol...

Hey guys, i was wondering if you could help me with this one? I live on the Gold coast near the QLD, NSW border. Looks just like a Northern Dtella. But my field guide says they do not live here, which confused me:rolleyes:?? Do they?? Thanks on advance -M

Hello Reptile Keepers in Down Under, i am from Germany and keep Reptiles since i was 15 teen Years old (now i am 38). Many times i see bearded Dragons in our Reptile Shops and Ackie Monitors. Some Day they were different type of Colorforms in one Reptiles Shop the so called Red ackies and the...

Hi Gecko Owners! I have thought about buying a thick tailed gecko or pair for my 5yr old son. I don't know a lot about these little guys (I only own a python) so could anyone provide any info about them and firstly whether they are an ideal pet for a 5yr old. Thanks :)

Following on from the 'my first bite' thread What have you been bitten by, (add any not already listed) Dog Cat Snake Bearded Dragon Possum Horse Rat Ferret Ants Mozzie

Came home from work to find this little one in the tank! Now i think there are two and hopefully more to come!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

hey all, i just seen a gecko jump out of my bin. it did not look like a Asia gecko. it was dark brown with a light brown strip on either side. would like to know what type it was. sorry ran off before i could get a pic.

I got a call out for a Brown Snake last week that had apparently been cut in half by a cat. I had my doubts as i think it would be pretty hard to cut a snake in half with a cat claw and asked if the lady was sure it was a snake... Well this is the little "brown snake". It is currently...

what do you do with these when you find them? Also, other than claws on the toes, how can you identify them? The spikes on the tail? I caught a bunch, one looks a bit different. Two seem to have very flat heads and the mottled pattern forms lines down the side and the other has only spots...

Noticing a bad smell when filling the water on my coffee maker, I investigated and found a dead adult Asian house gecko in the water spill over tray. I am on the northern beaches in Sydney.

My mate called me up yesturday and told me that his dog was digging in the backyard and he dug up a clutch of coastals pythons only 1 survived :( he has the little coastal in clickclack type thing im going to have a look at it tomorrow to see how it is he said he just fed it a asian house gecko...

Hey guys, Just curious to know if anyone keeps theses geckos in NSW (on license).
