These geckos are found throughout most of Australia, and are very common around human habitation. Several of them were frolicking on the outside walls of the motel room our friends Martin and Julia were staying in on our second night in Australia. I knew the geckos were common, and didn't bother delaying our goodnights to snap a few photos. Of course, we never saw another in our three week trip.

Fortunately I didn't have to go my entire life regretting the missed opportunity in Alice Springs to photograph this species. On my next trip to Australia two years later, I found this chubby (gravid?) gecko concealed under a board, keeping a bunch of Bynoe's Geckos company.
