Strophurus williamsi, also known commonly as the eastern spiny-tailed gecko, the soft-spined gecko,[1][2] and Williams' spiny-tailed gecko,[3] is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae. The species is endemic to semi-arid regions of eastern Australia including Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.[1][2] It has become a popular species as a pet for its distinctive tail features. S. williamsi has been grouped within a clade of seven other species that are believed to have diverged from their ancestors around 20 million years ago.[4] S. williamsi can be distinguished from closer relatives by arboreality (living in trees) and diurnal (day-active) activity.
