G'day waruikazi,
Salturius salebrosus are generally regarded as the biggest gecko in Australia. A few people keep them, they usually go for $300-400 each. Danny Brown had some available earlier this year, I am unsure whether he still does.
Cheers
Jonno

Sorry mate, I don't have a book to look it up here! Try doing a Google search, or looking on Danny's site. It's a species of leaftail from Central Queensland.

Rough Throated Leaftail is their common name.

Jonno, I wouldnt have said that to GeckoDan if I were you. Just check out his website. His Signature.
Danny, I thought Ring Tailed Geckos were the largest recorded by length and Centralian Rough Knob tails by Weight?

I think Jonno was kidding mate.
I would have said Ring-tailed Gecko too. Either that or Giant Cave Gecko, but i wouldn't really know, just going off what i've read when i was a youngster.

Ring Tail by length & Amyae by weight. Shawn is correct.
