I have been fascinated with
rough knob-tails ever since I saw them in Casey Lazik's Reptiles article in
the late 90's. These guys are so amazing! We were able to obtain
an adult pair of amyae from Art Aviles and are very excited to start this
new project. Nephrurus amyae come from the heart of Australia and are
adapted to a life in the desert. Their huge size and small, knob-tipped
tail, as well as their bold orange-red color with a black reticulate pattern.
They have a great threat display with pushups, open-mouthed barking, and
tail wagging. Overall, these have got to be the coolest gecko and we
are happy to have them.
