Certainly is.

S. spinigerus?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Not S.spinigerus

 

[dihsmaj]

Not S.spinigerus

What year was it described?

 

[eipper]

mjobergi

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Bit late eipper. Not sure when was described. The yellow rimmed eye gives it away.

Oh found it 1836

 

[eipper]

Strophurus strophurus

 

[dihsmaj]

Oh I thought it was a tail in a yellow bucket! As in the pupil was a spiny tail... I suck at this haha

 

[eipper]

Geck....missed the answer post

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Hahaha eipper got it. Half an eye is not really expected I guees.

Yeah you got the others to the right genus then missed the closing species eipper.

[GeckPhotographer]

Lucasium stenodactylum?

 

[eipper]

nope

Jannico,

Scale arrangement, toe/digit number lack of eyelids are all good starting points..however if you spend your days in the scrub or in field guides it helps too

Cheers,

Is it an Oedura (mostly because it appears to be on a rock rather than anything else.)

 

[eipper]

not an oedura or on a rock

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Ok then if it is not on a rock then I am still thinking Lucasium or Diplodactylus. Wish I knew more about scale arrangements on geckos I am sure there is a good characteristic in that pic I am not seeing.

Lucasium alboguttatum or L.maini?

And if its not a Diplodactylus or a Lucasium, I am going with Crenodactylus?

 

[eipper]

I think it is a pretty good character.....

its not luc alboguttatum or maini....nor a crenodactylus

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Lucasium dameaum. If not can you give me a broad location?

 

[eipper]

not a dameaum......from a station within 400km of Darwin...that should give it to you

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Heteronotia planiceps?
