Unlike most of the geckos we saw on buildings on this trip, this one is actually a native species. I don’t know what the deal is with all of those ugly lumps. Perhaps they are symptoms of some kind of parasite, or reactions to insect bites. The gecko otherwise seemed fat and healthy, and I would guess that the white area in the belly is an egg waiting to be laid.

I’ve written up an account of this three-week trip to Australia here.
