Ten minutes after crawling out of the egg, the tiny hatchling gets its first meal - eating the baby-layer of skin that is already being shed.

Los Phelsuma madagascariensis son bastante grandes. Son casi en su totalidad arbóreos y se debe dar un amplio espacio y un montón de altura en su recinto. Pasan la mayor parte del tiempo en el cristal, y sobre el bambú, o en plantas con y fuertes hojas anchas como las distintas plantas Sansevieria.
Son originarios de los bosques de la isla de Madagascar.

Phelsuma madagascariensis is a species of day gecko that lives in Madagascar. It is among the most widespread day geckos and is found in a wide range of habitats.
Mauritius 2013. This day gecko is an endemic and can be found in coastal and lowland areas of Mauritius, but is absent from the central south coast. It is easily identified from the other day geckos by dark brown/black stripes that border a white stripe, which begins behind the eye and along the neck. The other distinguishable marking is a red ‘T’ on the top of its head.
The colours darken and the black strengthens when they are cold! We saw these at Bras D'eau NR and Ile Aux Aigrettes.

I'm lucky enough to have a few on-hand subjects for when the weather is lousy, but they don't always provide the opportunity! Thankfully a few are used to us and happy to stay put for a portrait or two...
Giant Day Geckos have been introduced to many areas of southern Florida, including the Florida Keys. They are a large, colorful, day-active gecko that is often observed on the smooth trunks of palm trees.
My buddy's geckos revisited, this time armed with a 100mm macro and an umbrella :)
It's a Phelsuma Madagascariensis Grandis, btw or Giant Day Gecko.
