Thunderideal, that basic description describes about half of the gecko species native to Aus. :)

as for ID, you've got the chuck call to go by, and the fact that males and females have different colouring - one brown, one creamy/beige.

yeah i guess i'm used to them, if you hear their call i don't think they can be confused with anything else. besides, what aussie gecko runs in and around your house making noise and eating everything?

i was wrong about their relative harmlessness

from the link:

Asian House Geckos have displaced some native geckos in disturbed areas. While largely dependent on human environments, they have spread into bushland reserves in the Northern Territory where they could pose a threat to other native species.

Another hidden problem may lie with hitch-hikers they carry. Two species of red gecko mites, Geckobia bataviensis and Geckobia keegani live on the toes of Asian House Geckos. Microorganisms carried by these sorts of mites have the potential to cause debilitating diseases in native Australian lizards.

Used to like geckos and a flying type but only 3 inches.

Looked just like a tree branch.

Like a lizard form, perhaps the marsupial answer to the flying mammal, with the skin close body flaps.

Nocturnal also.

Geckos desert type are the only one one that can be breed and keep successfully as known.
