The final tail for now. This is the regenerated tail of a Southern Leaf-tailed Gecko (Saltuarius swaini). As a defence measure, geckos will drop their tails when threatened or attacked by a predator. When Leafies grow their tails back, they lack the tubercles and original patterning, and you can see at the base where the original texturing ends and the new leaf starts. . . . #herps #herpetology #ausgeo #australiangeographic #leaftailgecko #herping #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #wildplanetphotomag #lizardsofinstagram #fieldherping #wildtropics #wildlife #igscwildlife #wildlifeaddict #saltuarius #nature_perfection #australia #seeaustralia #australia #wildlifephotography #animalelite #wild #wildlife_seekers #gecko #wildplanetphotomag #tamron90mm #macro

This tail belongs to the Southern Leaf-tailed Gecko (Saltuarius swaini), a rainforest specialist, which prefers large trees as home. This individual was found on a Moreton Bay Fig. The tail blends seamlessly with the tree, providing camouflage from predators, and concealing the geckos presence from prey while in ambush. . . . #herps #herpetology #ausgeo #australiangeographic #leaftailgecko #herping #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #wildplanetphotomag #lizardsofinstagram #fieldherping #wildtropics #wildlife #igscwildlife #wildlifeaddict #saltuarius #nature_perfection #australia #seeaustralia #australia #wildlifephotography #animalelite #wild #wildlife_seekers #gecko #wildplanetphotomag #tamron90mm #macro

The textured tail of a Granite Leaf-tailed Gecko (Saltuarius wyberba). I’ve been holding onto this for a while, but this week I am going to post a small series of gecko tails from Southeast Queensland. As their name suggests, these geckos spend most of their time on the large boulders of the granite belt. The tubercles and mottled colours break up the outline of the gecko allowing them to ‘become the boulder’. . . . #herps #herpetology #ausgeo #australiangeographic #leaftailgecko #herping #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #wildplanetphotomag #lizardsofinstagram #fieldherping #wildtropics #wildlife #igscwildlife #wildlifeaddict #saltuarius #nature_perfection #australia #seeaustralia #australia #wildlifephotography #animalelite #wild #wildlife_seekers #gecko #wildplanetphotomag #tamron90mm #macro

Long-nosed Bandicoots do extremely well in urban environments and gardens. My parents have had a couple of Bandicoots in they backyard for years. I set up my camera trap to catch a glimpse of their nocturnal activities at some soft soil that had evidence of conical diggings, next to my dad's shed. Took me four weeks to catch him passing through. . . . #cameratrap #ausgeo #australiangeographic #cameratrapping #thisisqld #bandicoot #qld #mammal #wildlifewatching #garden #mammalsofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #wildplanetphotomag #natgeo #ausgeo #wildtropics #wildlife #igscwildlife #wildlifeaddict #gardener #urbanwildlife #urbanwildlifephotography #australianwildlife #wildlifephotography #animalelite #wild #wildlife_seekers #conservation #wildplanetphotomag #australia

The formidable Conondale Spiny Crayfish (Euastacus hystricosus). Spent the weekend out surveying creek systems for these guys. Interestingly, we found multiple berried females (carrying eggs) very early in the season. This individual was the first I have seen during the day. Swipe left to see some footage of her in her element. . . . #sunshinecoast #endangered #ausgeo #australiangeographic #habitat #crustacean #crustaceans #wildlife_perfection #wildplanetphotomag #euastacus #rainforest #wildtropics #wildlife #igscwildlife #wildlifeaddict #euastacushystricosus #nature_perfection #australia #seeaustralia #australia #wildlifephotography #animalelite #wild #wildlife_seekers #iucn #wildplanetphotomag #wideangle #tamron1024 @natgeoau

Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilota) take advantage of human-made structures that provide shelter, warmth and easy access to prey items. This individual has taken up residence in my dad's tin shed, which provides many nooks for coiling, and a decent population of rodents in the surrounding bamboo. . . . #australiangeographic #snake #ausgeo #snakes #herping #wild #herp #carpetpython #reptile #wildlifeaddicts #australia #python #wildlifeshots #natureonly #wildlife_seeker #reptilesofinstagram #natgeowild #herping #wildlifeaddict #seeaustralia #abcmyphoto #natureshots #reptiles #naturephotography #herpetology #wildplanetphotomag #fieldherping #wildlifeaddict #herpingtheglobe #wildtropics @natgeoau
