Southern leaf-tailed gecko, Phyllurus platurus, at Glenbrook, New South Wales, Australia.
Nikon D300, Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D, Pop-up flash, Mini diffuser
ISO 200, 1/160s, f/11, EV+1.67
This photograph was taken on 9 January 2012, 6 weeks after the previous shot and the tail has almost completely regrown. It still isn’t the right colour, yet.
Comments
For reference, here’s the shot taken 6 weeks earlier:
they certainly do. The colour will never be the same as the orginal and usually dont have the same texturing either
Thanks, Chris. I wondered about that. I know with skinks you can tell the difference between an original tail and a regrown one.

( To help us tidy up the group it would be appreciated if you could remove as many of your older works as possible – Thanks Ray )
If you have already done this THANK YOU
This is good to see Andrew. I wonder if the scale colour will ever match again?
Chris says they will never be the same as the original. I’ll keep taking photographs of this one when it appears.

Oh WOW Andrew, I didn’t know we got Gecko’s in Sydney area, I’ve never seen one? Well only in Hawaii but that doesn’t count.
Excellent!
Gabe :)
Gabe, Leaf-tailed geckos are pretty common and we also get Lesueur’s velvet gecko
