Ged Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 We have a gecko living in our laundry but it is definitely not that big. Are they likely to try and move these on Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfnq Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes unfortunately , Due to the recent attacks in the NT there is a bit of croc paranoia up here .they will more than likely be trapped and moved. A few traps have been set in the local creeks latelyBut it makes no difference, when we have a big wet season up here they tend to move around alot and a vacant creek makes for a nice new home so when these are moved on others will turn up I guarantee .The only time they bother me is if I get the odd crab pot chewed up , but if there are crocs there most certainly there will be barra and mud crabs both a staple of crocs and the odd dumb human that fails to respect these majestic animals and ends up paying the ultimate price .

markfnq Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Pic was taken very near Thomatis creek Chris There was a couple trapped a few years ago in Thomatis but as mentioned they will keep turning up .Just give them space and respect and there is a good chance you wont end up on the menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
