going down to tara on the western darling downs looking for geckos

[geckoman1985]

can any one tell me what geckos i am likeley to find there i know golden tailed geckos are found there and is it to far north to find thicktailed geckos there

 

[smacdonald]

Here's a rough list based on museum records from that region:

Eastern stone gecko Diplodactylus vittatus
Northern dtella Gehyra australis
Dubious dtella Gehyra dubia
Tree dtella Gehyra variegata
Asian house gecko Hemidactylus frenatus
Bynoe's gecko Heteronotia binoei
Box-patterned gecko Lucasium steindachneri
Marbled velvet gecko Oedura marmorata
Zigzag velvet gecko Oedura rhombifer
Robust velvet gecko Oedura robusta
Southern spotted velvet gecko Oedura tryoni
Eastern spiny-tailed gecko Strophurus williamsi

By 'rough list', I mean 'not exhaustive, and may not actually be found there'.

I have found the above species in and around Tara...

For some reason I have no museum records for thick-tailed geckos in Queensland. I'm not sure why that is.

It's because you've never found one. You employ other people to do it for you.

Of course! I had forgotten that.

jonno,

You have found gehyra australis out that way ?

Nathan

Edit I didn't read properly and now see you have left them out of the list

Gehyra australis was the term used prior to G. dubia being accepted so that the records of G. australis were correct at the time.

Cheers,
