Summary

| Description |
One of the largest day geckos, it can reach a total length of about 22cm. The body colour is light green or bluish green. These geckos do not have eyelids and they have flattened toe pads. The gecko's body is more flat than in other lizards and covered with a smooth skin and small scales. Like most geckos they have tiny hooks on the pads of their toes which enable them to stick to most surfaces. They are very vocal, barking, hissing and squeaking to scare of predators. Males are very aggressive towards each other. In order to escape predators the Madagascan day gecko’s tail easily breaks off. This allows the gecko to escape as the predator is momentarily content with having caught the tail. And not to worry, the gecko’s tail is easily re-grown so it can use this defence yet again. |
