Strange little critters, what substrate is it that you are using?
Thanks for sharing

 

[jessop]

[Saz]

The substrate is coir peat.

very characteristic! love their spikey eyebrows, any idea on what they are for?

 

[Saz]

Not the foggiest! The spines on the tail secrete a sticky smelly liquid if the gecko is stressed/threatened, but no idea why they have them above their eyes. I think the sole purpose is to make them look cute!

[ex1dic]

yeah so their predators feel slack and leave them alone

 

[Saz]

Yes, too cute to eat!
