Thanks for that....The first one looked like it had a bit of a spikey tail so I was not sure........

 

[Grogshla]

1st one looks like a species of dtella (gehyra)
2nd one looks like northern dtella

 

[GeckoJosh]

Yeah the other one has a regenerated tail

I am way out of my comfort zone when it comes to ID of geckos.......

 

[GeckoJosh]

Just curious what area are you in?

I have no idea Asharee I often see them like that. I though it may be the males that have that......but then again I have no idea

 

[GeckoJosh]

Yeah its a calcium store, females in species that lay hard shelled eggs (Dtellas, Marbled geckos, AHG's) tend to have these

That makes sense!

Plenty

I have a friend that keeps telling me if my hatchie won't eat, I should try her with a live gecko. I personally think it's cruel, and I don't want her being obsessed with live food. Is it OK to feed gecko's to snakes?

My guess is G. variegata - Tree Dtella (I have a rescue from Roxby Downs, SA) - the other is going to slough... Just a guess... (I had Scott Eipper id my rescue...)

the colour difference is just natural change, they can change colour to match moods ect... AHG

Is it fact that NO native Australian gecko has nails/claws?
If so, then both these examples are AHG's.
Then again, I could have been spun a load of bull******!

That is not true at all.
Dtellas are missing a claw on the inside toe while AHG's have a claw on all toes

I always thought the very pale ones were like that because they were inside and away from sunlight.
I think someone told me this, is it rubbish?
