I should never have joined this site, it keeps reminding me of all the herps I want, but can't get (not for a while anyway!)

I think the first one is an Aussie gecko of the Strophurus genus. (perhaps cillaris.. though I cannot see any spiny eye brows.)
The others look pretty much exotic relative to Australia.
One day I will get a good camera capable of taking close up pictures of geckos.

Exotics aren't rubbish ( except maybe the cane toad )
they just shouldn't be here ( exspecially the cane toad )

I get so angry when I hear people say that, it's just so narrow minded. Beautiful geckos.

Every animal is beautiful in it's own right. It's not the animals fault it is exotic!
If we all lived overseas, would we be calling australian snakes rubbish? hehe

My experience with keepers overseas is that they appreciate all animals regardless of origin, because of the ridiculous hype and scare tactics
used by some people here there is this very negative attitude toward exotics.

Well this is about as good as I can do with my current digital... quality wise. The composition however could be dramatically improved with a little bit more time and patience on my part.
