Lucky week No. 13, here we have the Nephrurus/Underwoodisaurus milli





One of the sweetest most personable geckos in my collection is this lovely captive Australian Barking Gecko. These cuties are known to inhabit the entire Australian continent with two specific locale populations, the eastern and southern forms. Ranging in color from brown to a light almost flourescent yellow(hypo) these geckos look like a combination of a knob-tail gecko, and a leaf tail with their head looking like a nephrurus and their tail almost like a plump leaf! They are easily cared for and like cooler temperatures than typical nephrurus, but in their classification they have altered from 'nephrurus' to a completely separate genus 'underwoodisaurus'. Now I believe they are classified as nephrurus again. Well here are the pics.
