Hello again! If you're still taking requests, could you show off some of the spiny-tailed geckos/geckos from Strophurus ? People don't know about their messed up tail adaptations or their cool color contrasts between the gray of the body vs the tail sections and tongues, esp in golden tailed geckos and I think they're neat! ^_^

This subject requires a video!!!

Check out the Golden-tailed Gecko's (Strophurus taenicauda) Threat display in slow motion. When under attack this Gecko has an incredible way of deterring predators. They open their mouths to show a blacky blue lining as a warning to stay back, just as the black mamba does. As you can see the beautiful golden tail is lifted like a scorpion and is able to squirt out a foul smelling and sticky liquid if the predator comes any closer making this one of the coolest geckos on the planet!
