I just thought it looked a bit different to the house geckos we normally get - they are usually big fat pinky-white coloured things.

Being an introduced species, is it legal to remove them from the wild? Or do they have the same protection as our own native species?

| | | | I doubt you have to have a licence to keep an introduced species,
if anything you would have to kill it I would assume |

|  | Subscriber | | | | | do what you want, keep it, freeze it, let it go, pat it, we have no license requirements for them in qld, so yes, you can also collect them for feed

I found him in an unused aviary outside in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, just sitting on the concrete. He barely moved, my beardie spotted him first - she thought it was dinner time
Wondering if perhaps he was sick?
