Nephrurus asper, also known as rough knob-tailed gecko, spiny knob-tailed gecko or prickly knob-tailed gecko is a species of gecko.[1] Like all species of Nephrurus it is endemic to Australia . This is one of three similar species that stand alone among all Australian geckos in being unable to discard their tails and grow new ones. Prickly knob-tailed geckos live in dry woodlands and outcrops of Queensland
