 DAY GECKOS - Phelsuma
Day Geckos are among the most beautiful lizards, or indeed creatures, on earth, being patterned with various bright spots or stripes on a background of emerald green or sometimes blue.
This is one of the largest day geckos available, and one of the longest-established in herpetology, having been the first to be bred in captivity.
This unusual day gecko also has one of the smallest ranges of any lizard, being only known in a small area of banana plantations on the island, so both habitat preservation and captive breeding are absolutely vital to the future of this species.
