Not sure of the breed name but I do know 1 is male and the other is female:rolleyes:. I think they are an asian variety that was introduced here and are becoming a bit of a problem to our native varieties. I got some good pics here are a couple.

Hum, I guess that tail gets in the way a little bit. But I was trying to figure out where all of the feet are connected to which. I am still not sure about the little fingers near the action zone.

Those look to be one of the Hemidactylus species, quite possibly mabouia. There are a lot of them that look fairly similar, and I'm unsure of what would have been introduced to Australia.

Very cool shots though. It's not too often you get to see them mating, so getting a good shot (of both sides nonetheless) is pretty neat.
