Grey with large, dark-edged, rectangular pale blotches extending from head onto flattened plump tail. Toes expanded to form pads, underside covered with two rows of large plates, including a large circular pair under the tip.

 

Favours rock-faces and hollows in large, smooth-barked eucalypts, but also thrives in human dwellings.

 

Common in Brisbane's outer suburbs and surrounding eucalypt woodlands. Mid-eastern Australia.
