The dubious dtella, native Australian house gecko, or dubious four-clawed gecko (Gehyra dubia) is a species of gecko in the genus Gehyra, native to Northeastern Australia (Queensland and northern New South Wales as well as islands of the Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Strait).[2] The lizard is found in a variety of habitats, including acacia and eucalyptus woodlands, and in human-developed habitats, such as house walls in urban areas.[1] Its urban presence makes it known as a common house gecko in Queensland. These geckos are often confused with the Asian common house gecko, which was introduced to Australia from Indonesia, but G. dubia has distinct rounded feet[3] and quieter calls.
