I detected a pale eyeshine on the flat underside of a boulder approximately 300 feet upstream from our campsite. A feeling of excitement tinged with a little fear of losing sight of the animal washed over me as I approached, concentrating on the small points of light. As I got closer, the eyeshine became stronger and the outline of the animal began to emerge.

This was definitely not a ring-tailed gecko, but rather a very flat, spiny animal that could only be a leaftail. Without delay I grabbed the animal for identification – yes! The first Mcllwraith leaftail found in 15 years and only the fourth specimen ever found! If that was not enough, this specimen had an original tail; all the previous specimens had regenerated tails.

Around the same time, another team member uncovered another specimen. This one clung to a bare rockface hidden within a cavity beneath boulders; it had a regenerated tail and also two partially developed eggs.

This gecko species is extremely gaunt and elongated, almost emaciated in appearance, with a flattened head and body, and long thin limbs. The cervical vertebrae are extremely elongated, resulting in an extraordinarily long, thin neck. This species also differs from other leaftails in possessing three lumbar vertebrae as opposed to two, causing it to be placed in a separate genus. The dorsal surface is covered with spiny tubercles. The original, leaf-shaped tail has tubercles with clusters of two to three pointed spines around its perimeter and more blunt, longitudinally aligned tubercles on its dorsal surface.

The next morning we spent photographing leaftails and other herp species found at the location, before following the creek back to our base camp at Rocky Scrub. We has successfully located and photographed the Mcllwraith leaf-tailed gecko, observed Australia’s longest gecko and two herp species endemic to the Mcllwraith Range, the long-snouted frog and the Coen rainbow skink.

What goes in must come out, and here the iguana has habits which you can apply to train your pet to drop his leavings in the same place every time. First, your pet will probably want to defecate at about the same every day once his eating pattern and temperature are established. Second, if he is in water (or remembers that he had been in water in a certain place) this may trigger activity. Eventually, with some intelligent patience on your part, you should be able to train him to relieve himself once every day or two on a piece of dampened newspaper in the bottom of a dry bathtub. If your pet is always caged, you can concentrate on other problems, but lifetime caging presents another thing for you to think about – that is, exercise. Your pet should be able to walk, climb and flex his muscles.

Once you establish the territorial limits within which your pet is free to move, patterns will be established. If you give your pet the freedom of a room or several rooms, he will soon be at one place to sleep at night – dark and confining perhaps. He will defecate when he awakes, perhaps not every day, but in the same place however often. Perhaps he will choose a pad of newspaper which has been dampened on top. “Perhaps” is not the keyword, but it is not to be forgotten. What means a lot to one iguana might no mean as much to another individual – but let’s get on. He may expect to be fed at the same place; soon you will recognize his hunger signals. He may snort and create small sound from his nose as he discharges a small quantity of fluid from his nostrils. This fluid evaporates to leave salt-like crystals, but it is the act of snorting, in one example.

Here are a few facts about your iguana which might be useful regardless of which statement you believe. Young iguanas in the wild are known to eat insects, small animals, birds, other reptiles, land snails, fruit, vegetables, flowers and buds. Adult wild iguanas have been found with some animal food in their stomachs. Other adults have been known to thrive in the wild on a 100% vegetarian diet.

Iguanas are rarely seen to drink, but they do like to bathe and swim and soak; perhaps they do drink or absorb moisture through their skin. The Galapagos land iguana eats or licks plants wet with dew and also seems to drink sea water.

Iguanas consume some gravel which they use in their alimentary canals to aid in breaking up tough vegetable matter. One fine specimen of common iguana contributed to the Staten Island Zoo in New York was reported to have thrived on mozzarella cheese and ice cream. At the zoo it thrived on the regular iguana diet.

Another, a pet in Washington, D.C., ate vegetables for twelve years and is thriving. This specimen has a special fondness for frozen spinach souffle, served piping hot! He is known to drink water from time to time. His owner believes that the preference for vegetables over fruit may have been acquired since vegetables were all he got to eat when he was a baby twelve years ago.

These two insect killers should be available through your pet dealer or veterinarian. A mixture of half-and-half castor oil and 90% grain alcohol brushed on the affected areas may also eliminate mites. Don’t dip your pet in this mixture; just apply a little locally. Note that 90% grain alcohol is not 90 proof. You can buy 90% grain neutral spirits in your pharmacy or liquor store. A little goes a long way.

If you pick off ticks and chiggers with the tweezers, you might well follow up with an alcohol swab to help reduce the risk of infection at the sore spot. Perhaps a pretreatment with the alcohol will tend to loosen the tick before you attempt to pick it off. This passage is not intended to scare anyone from keeping an iguana. People have had dogs and cats with chiggers, ticks, mites and fleas for all of the recorded history.

A number of large and small ticks attached under the edges of the scales of a rainbow boa. The ticks found on iguanas are usually similar in appearance to those found on snakes – ticks are not too choosy.

     When light bulbs are used in conjunction with “hot rocks” a wider variety of temperatures becomes available to the lizard. The “heating” rock can be positioned on the floor and strategically placed in the lizard’s environment. The specimen then has the option of climbing onto the device, where it can regulate its body temperature in much the same manner as it would by lying on a warm rock. For fear of the obvious hazards of electricity, these devices as well as all other electrical equipment should never be exposed to wetness unless it can be guaranteed that the unit in question is waterproof.

     Humidity requirements for lizards vary from species to species, depending on the climate they come from.  A climate is comprised of many different elements, including: mean annual temperature; precipitation; relative humidity; amount of sunshine/cloudiness; and wind direction and velocity.
