General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Riverland and elsewhere
5 fingers & 5 toes, with the toes being more finger like with claws underneath. Unlike other gecko's with suction pads under their tows.
The 2 we measured were vastly different sizes. S2 being 50mm SVL & S3 being 25mm. As such we assume S3 is a juvenile.
You can see S2 has lost it's tail at some point and regrown it.

This species is classed as

LC (Least Concern)
