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.

Endémique de Madagascar, le grand Gecko vert malgache a été introduit à la Réunion et aux Seychelles mais aussi à Hawaï et en Floride.

Ce Phelsuma, facile à élever en captivité, est l'un des plus répandu dans le commerce terrariophile. Il a été relâché à la Réunion à partir d'élevages en 1994 à St André et en 1995 à La Montagne. Aujourd'hui il existe de nombreuses populations disséminées sur l'île (Ste Suzanne, le Tampon, Ste Marie...). Dans la région de St André-Ste Suzanne il occupe environ 75 km². Il se retrouve en milieu anthropisé dans les jardins, sur les Cocotiers, Bananiers, Bambous géants et autres plantes exotiques.

Out of all the geckos at the National Geographic Museum exhibit, these guys were the most photogenic.
