 Herpetology - Knob-headed Giant Gecko
Rhacodactylus auriculatus occurs at 17 locations representing up to 13 subpopulations over the south of the island, and a number of geographically distant populations in the far north-west.
The distribution of the species as it is known satisfies the criteria for a small distribution (area of occupancy <1,000 km2), but is likely to be recorded from additional locations with further survey work.
auriculatus does not satisfy the criteria required to place it at a greater level of threat and most appropriately categorised as Lower Risk - least concern - it is not considered to be under any immediate threat.

I have a female Rhacodactylus auriculatus that has been egg bound for almost six weeks, and I am afraid that she is not going to make it.
I separated her from the male a few weeks ago in hopes that she would pass the eggs, but that has not helped.
I am aware that egg bind ing is relatively common with this species, but there has to be something else I can do.
