Northern Spiny-tailed gecko, Strophurus ciliaris

Mornington Sanctuary WA

Just look at those eyelashes! The specific name "ciliaris" refers to these elongate spines over the eye. They are actually quite soft,
as are the spines on the tail. They are designed to enhance camouflage rather than for delivering a fatal Glasgow kiss.
