Peacock Day Gecko
Phelsuma quadriocellata
The peacock day gecko inhabits forests in Madagascar. Its green body has variable red markings and prominent dark spots behind the forelegs; some forms also have spots near the hind legs. It is kept and bred by day-gecko specialists. A planted vertical enclosure offers leafy resting cover, climbing stems, bright light, ventilation and drinking droplets, with insect and suitable fruit-based foods.
Seasonal cooling is part of documented breeding practice. Females lay unattached eggs in sheltered sites. International trade is regulated under CITES Appendix II.
Colors: Wild Type
