Beautiful Gecko (Diplodactylus pulcher)
The mammals crushed the reptiles in our nightly count this night; we saw twelve rabbits and four kangaroos, but only five reptiles, all of them geckos. The only good news was that the five geckos comprised four different species: Strophurus spinigerus, Diplodactylus ornatus, Heteronotia binoei, and this one, which turned out to be the only individual of this species that we saw on our trip.

Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.
