The eastern spiny-tailed gecko is a small lizard from Australia. It has sharp spines on its tail and special glands that release sticky liquid with a strong smell when in danger.
The eastern spiny-tailed gecko differs from other geckos with spines on its tail and the ability to shoot sticky liquid. It is useful for nature because it eats many insects and serves as prey for snakes and birds.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
