native geckos in Melb??

[ReptilianGuy]

i work in most of melbournes and gippslands cemetaries and have only found the marbled geckoes so far.... as i work with a mason i can tell say that all the stone that would have been transported from north is chilligo marble, and isa rose and a few others from out behind the GDR.... and these days that is rare but well before the high demand of overseas stone in cemetaries this was about the easiest stone to get

Saratoga,

I used to live on Grange rd in Caulfield East....

Christinus are not native to Melbourne (I have found them in about 20 suburbs including and surrounding Melb though). They are all either translocated individuals or progeny there of...so they now appear to be native.

Look at Hemidactylus....they were not in Brissy until the mid 70's....30 years on and they are on just about every house in Brissy and the Gold Coast

Cheers,
Scott

Sort of. I was thinking of further out like Wheelers hill... Springvale north Mitcham and surrounds. It contains a lot of nice habitat but I have never seen them.

The coastal areas beside the Bay and around the CBD seem to be where they are most often reported.

How do you go about finding these guys?
i spend a lot of time in Donvale, so might be able to help update your info for the east.
