Welcome to episode II!
Another reptile species I've been lucky enough to photograph is the gecko of no common name Gehyra xenopus. Check your book, they have a very limited distribution, but are locally common. Interestingly, these guys don't seem to turn up in areas where other large Gehyra species like G. australis are found. G. nana is found in the same areas, but not a kimberley endemic, so not included in this series of photos.
Very large and bold, they are often found out during the day on the underside of cliff overhangs and active dark crevices and caves.
Again, these guys are similar to other species like G.occidentalis, so to correctly ID them, you look at their feet. These guys have a wedge shape between their subdigital lamellae which is not found in other species. (see photo)
