Nephrurus wheeleri - Banded knob-tailed gecko

Only a few short years ago, Nephrurus wheeleri were very hard to come by and demanded top dollar. Today, availability has increased and the price has dropped to a level that shouldn't be too daunting to the serious hobbyist. This prehistoric looking gecko from the arid deserts of Australia is relatively easy to keep and can be quite prolific. The roughly scaled skin sets this group apart from the smooth skinned knobtails. See caresheet here.
