Geckoes Galore

It is certainly the season for the Northern Leaf-Tailed Gecko (Saltuarius cornutus) at Paluma.

My previous posts during December 2019 have reported the movements of a rather superb specimen at the eastern end of the village between the residences of 13 and 17 Mount Spec Road.

Linda Venn has now contributed a photograph of her resident Gecko, also at the eastern end of the village. Linda reports that this specimen has been sighted regularly at her home over a period of some years. She describes this individual as about 7 to 8 inches in length (or about 20 cm).

Don Battersby says that he has numerous specimens living at this property on Hussey Road. They favour the shed walls and appear nightly to forage for food.
