I just love our critters

The Golden Tailed Gecko.
Found only in Queensland Australia.
5 inches long it can live for 8 years.
Secret Weapon?
When threatened, these Geckos have a unique ability to squirt a sticky and foul smelling liquid straight at their predator.
This is shot from their tail and smells like crushed legume seeds, It is also an eye irritant.

Do they whistle?
We stayed in a holiday home in Queensland and the Geckos there were “tuneful” all night :grinning:

Not whistling but they do make a chirruping noise.
