G'day Folks,
As a newbie to the world of geckos, I have been doing some reading. I have noticed that there are a lot of discrepancies in naming them. For example, I have found the Southern Leaf Tailed Gecko named as both Saltuarius swaini, and Phyllurus platurus. So, the question is:
Does anyone...

I just let my dog out the back to do his business, and decided to check behind our BBQ for regular geckos. I sighed in disappointment when I saw nothing... I started to head back inside when I saw our regular guy almost inside the house. I nearly chopped him in the door!
