Phelsumacepediana is endemic to Mauritius island, where it is wide spread and eurytopic.
Phelsumacepediana has adapted itself to several habitats on the island, but the highest population densities seem to occur in the cooler and wetter regions.
In the lower regions of the island Phelsumacepediana is found in areas with higher humidity near rivers and streams and in the denser woodlands, gardens and plantations.
While this kind in the north is to be found frequently together with Phelsuma ornata, it divides in the mountain regions of the south also biotopes with Phelsuma guimbeaui rosagularis.
Phelsumacepediana is an expressed culture follower, who lives preferentially into and around human settlements.
Phelsuma gigas und Phelsuma edwardnewtoni, endemic to Rodrigues, are considered to be extinct.

Blue Tailed Day Geckos are one of the Phelsumaspecies, characterized by their locations in Madagascar and the Reunion and Mauritius Islands off the coast of Madagascar and by their bright colors and markings.
Because the Blue Tailed Day Gecko is diurnal, any devoted hobbyist planning to visit these islands should go during the day.
