About this animal

Giant day geckos are among the most colourful lizards you can keep, and they are active during the day so you actually get to watch them. They do best as a display animal in a tall, planted enclosure with strong lighting. This male is alert, brilliantly coloured and feeding on fruit purée and insects.
