The strophurus taenicauda is in the Strophurus genes which technically stands for 'spiny tailed gecko'. Despite not having any spines on its tail, this gecko is mosaically patterned with a beautiful yellow or orange section on the tail which can run all the way up its back in certain individuals. A very impressive gecko to say the least, it has red eyes which are incredible if seen in full detail. As of recently there has been a genetic 'morph' of this species which has greenish or light color eyes opposed to its standard red eyed counterpart. This animal loves the heat and will devour any small type of feeder insect and relishes the experience of eating hatchling geckos. A very very cool and relatively rare specie in captivity.
