The Complete Knob-tailed Gecko

Rodeo November 2020, geb., SU, “There are few lizards more striking than the knob-tailed geckos of the genus Nephrurus, and their relatives in the Underwoodisaurus and Uvidicolus genera. With their large eyes, permanent smiles, small almost comical tails, bright colours and beautiful patterns, it is no wonder that these are some of the most popular geckos among herpetologists and herpetoculturalists alike. They have been studied in the field and in the laboratory, revealing many aspects of their unique lifestyle. Many behaviours have also been reported, with their mesmerizing threat display being one of the most interesting. Overall, these are some of the most visually appealing and interesting geckos on the planet. The Complete Knob-tailed Gecko focuses on all aspects of this group of geckos, with a particular focus on natural history and husbandry. The authors have beautifully documented the diversity of appearance and coloration of these geckos with an exhaustive number of beautiful photos of the animals in their natural habitat. These geckos are understandably some of the most popular species in herpetoculture and a book focused on this group was definitely warranted”.
