Neon Day Geckos are one of the smallest diurnal (daytime active) species of gecko native to North Western coastal areas of Madagascar on the Ampasindava peninsular. The exact location of the bamboo forest in which Neon Day geckos were originally found is a closely guarded secret as they are an endangered species and by keeping the location secret it protects this species from poachers.

Day Geckos are active, alert and brightly coloured making them excellent occupants for display vivaria. In the wild they inhabit humid lowland rainforest. They feed on small insects, fruit, sugary tree sap and nectar from flowers. Smaller day geckos can even act as pollinators for some species of flower. They will thrive in live planted / Bioactive enclosures and will feed on a mixed diet of insects and artificial gecko diet like those that are made for crested geckos. As a treat they can also have honey or mashed fruit.

They are not suitable for handling due to their fast speed and the delicate nature of their skin. While all geckos can drop their tail if startled (the term for this is caudal autotomy), day geckos are also able to voluntarily shed off the top layers of scales and skin so that if grabbed by a predator they can wriggle free leaving the predator with just a mouthful of scales while the gecko escapes. With a little gentle coaxing and perseverance many day geckos will get tame enough within their enclosure to be hand fed on insects and honey. Most day geckos are best kept singly or in pairs, neon day geckos however buck this trend and are the only species of day gecko that we would suggest are able to live in colonies including multiple males and females.

 Like virtually all the animals we sell, these were bred right here in store, so you get all the benefits of buying direct from the breeder as well as from a renowned 5 Star licensed pet shop. What more could you want…
