The first video is of a Spiny-tailed Gecko (Strophurus spinigerus) as he wanders around the garden in the late afternoon, looking for a good spot to go hunting insects during the night. These geckos are native to the southwest of Western Australia, but we don't often see them in our Perth hills garden.
The second video is of him cleaning his eyes with his blue tongue, possibly after catching an insect or licking some nectar off our red grevilleas in the garden. These geckos belong to the tail-squirter group, because as a defence they can squirt a sticky, smelly fluid from pores on the top of the spiny tail.

Hi Richard, both videos are very nice you have the sesazione have personally witnessed, but the second is my favorite for their special tongue on the eyes
