We got into the habit of a mammal-vs-reptile count on each night drive on this Western Australia trip. The first few nights, the reptiles (mostly Soft Spiny-tailed Geckos) held their own or even defeated the mammals; for instance, on one night at Kalbarri, the count was fourteen mammals (all rabbits) to 25 reptiles (one Burton's Snake-lizard and 24 geckos). However, this was a very sad night for the mammal-vs-reptile count: four rabbits, one gecko. At least the one gecko was this one, a species that we hadn't seen before, and didn't see again.
Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.
