About Underwoodisaurus milii Bory De Saint-Vincent, 1823
Underwoodisaurus milii has a reddish-brown body marked with bands of white and yellow spots, and a paler underbelly. When fully grown, its total length including the tail usually ranges from 120–140 mm (4.7–5.5 in). Original tails of this species are black with several pale bands, while regenerated tails have very little visible patterning. This species is found in southern regions of Australia. In Western Australia, it occurs across the southwest, the goldfields, the wheatbelt, and the Nullarbor regions extending east, and reaches as far north as Shark Bay. It is also present on the Houtman Abrolhos and the Archipelago of the Recherche. Underwoodisaurus milii lives in rocky outcrops, and is slightly more cold-tolerant than many other Australian gecko species. It is a nocturnal animal, and shelters under rocks or in burrows during the daytime.
