Didn't seem a good place for a young phelsuma day gecko. Looked a little dazed and confused. I relocated it to a palm. Phelsuma pusilla ?
Madagascar giant day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis Gray, 1870) is a diurnal arboreal subspecies of the Madagascar day geckos (Phelsuma madagascariensis ssp.). It is found in areas of tropical and subtropical forest in northern Madagascar. The Madagascar giant day gecko feeds on various invertebrates and very small vertebrates and nectars.

Distribution: Found in northwestern Madagascar. Habitat: Nocturnal and arboreal, living in the bamboo forests of the mountains.
Remarks: The sex of geckos, like that of many reptiles, is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. Low temperatures produce females, higher ones males. Below 25 °C few eggs will hatch and those that do will be female. Between 25.5 °C and 28 °C hatchlings will be females or mostly females, 29 °C to 30°F both sexes occur, 30.5 °C to 33 °C mostly males or males, and above 33.5 °C few eggs hatch but they are males.

Yet another shot of one of my buddy's Phelsuma Madagascariensis Grandis, or Madagascar Giant Day Gecko. Amazing creatures. Shot with my Canon EOS 400D with a Tamron 17-50 F/2.8
