Need help identifiying Queensland reptiles.

[Stan.a]

Hello there,
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, but I need some help with identifying the following three reptiles that I photographed/filmed during my holiday in Australia:

Reptile 1: I think this is an Asian House Gecko, but I'd like to be sure.

Reptile 2: Found several of these on rocks near a streaming river.

Reptile 3: Found sunbathing in dry forest.

(Sorry for low quality of some pictures, they're video stills.)

Thanks in advance.

Stan,

The first gecko photo isnt of a Asian House Gecko
its a native Gehyra species.

Where abouts in QLD did you see it?

 

[Stan.a]

About 30-40 kilometers south of Townsville.

 

[Australis]

Likely Gehyra dubia

Thanks!

(The other two species were found at the same place, btw.)

I think the last one could be Tympanocryptis lineata, Lined Earless Dragon

In the middle group, ?Cryptoblepharus litoralis, Coastal Tree Skink

So Pic no. 1 is NOT a Asian House Gecko hey??? I have hundreds of these lil buggers around our house......

Almost at plague amounts....LOL

Certainly looks very similar to one of these gecko's pics from the Australia Museum Site... http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/inquiry/factsheets/Geckos_20070605.pdf

It's hard to tell from these pics, but I agree that the middle skinks are Cryptoblepharus of some sort. If you were on the coast, they could be C. littoralis as Aqua.of.fnq says. If you were further inland, they might be C. plagiocephalus or similar. (I can only get one of the skink pics to load, so my ID is based solely on that one.)

The last dragon looks like Diporiphora bilineata but, again, it's hard to tell from the pic.

I would have guessed the gecko as an Asian House Gecko!

The first is Gehyra dubia, the second animal is Lampropholis mirabilis and the third is either Diporphora australis or D. bilineata (they are seperated by the gular fold which is on the underside of the throat however this is not visiable from that angle.

Hi Scott,

Are you likely to find D. bilineata south of Townsville? I've only seen them further north.

reptile 3 looks like a two-lined dragon.

Stewart,

Their range extends (off the top of my head) about 30kms South of Bowling green bay np which makes them down to about 50 odd kms south of townsville...incidently stunning leaf tails in that park but its a real hike to get to where they are (about 18km round trip).....with 10kg of cam gear we left at 8 pm..got to he site about 2 found them by 3 left by 4 and was back at camp about 9 in morning the next day....fun fun fun

Cheers,
Scott

So I've seen Gehyra dubia, Lampropholis mirabilis and a two-lined dragon.

Thanks a lot!
