A head close-up of a marbled gecko (Christinus marmoratus).Note the pads on its feet. Adults reach an average (snout-vent) length of 50mm, and weigh about 2.5g. [8] C. marmoratus have fat reserves in their tails, [9] which can be disconnected from their body when threatened, to aid in escape.
The geckos, Oedura ocellata Boulenger and the Heteronotia binoei (Gray) compete for the same macrohabitat but have different microhabitat and food resources. [8] Termites are a competing native species with the G. versicolor as they degrade microhabitats used by the gecko.
The dubious dtella, native Australian house gecko, or dubious four-clawed gecko (Gehyra dubia) is a species of gecko in the genus Gehyra, native to Northeastern Australia (Queensland and northern New South Wales as well as islands of the Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Strait). [2]
Like other reptiles, geckos are ectothermic, [15] producing very little metabolic heat. Essentially, a gecko's body temperature is dependent on its environment. Also, to accomplish their main functions; such as locomotion, feeding, reproduction, etc., geckos must have a relatively elevated temperature.
Saltuarius salebrosus is a relatively large genus of Australian gecko and has an average nose to tail (or snout to vent) length of 14–16 cm. [12] It is distinguishable from the other members of its genus because of its uniquely shaped tail from which it gains its colloquial name the rough-throated leaf-tailed gecko or Central Queensland leaf-tailed gecko.
