Strophrurus williamsi, Australian eastern spiny-tailed gecko. An exact, albeit tiny, duplicate of the adults. Note the fruit fly (hydei the larger fruit fly) in the picture to get an idea of size.

Thanks, I would recommend williamsi to any one. Very easy to keep, hardy and cool looking. They are very "leaf-tail" gecko in behavior (but need much warmer temps) in the way they hunt and hang out during the day. They maintain that long streched out position. You can keep a pair or trio in a 10 gallon tank with no problen. If you get some, use the bio-vine artificial vine. It is just the right size for williamsi and they are on it all the time.

Regards,
John
