 How about a Day Gecko Forum?!?!

Hey Doug!!! I was thinking that since Day Geckos seem to be becoming popular, and since there are so many species of Day Geckos, why don’t we have a Day Gecko forum? Could you possibly add one? Thanks!!!

LGL,

Great idea, but we’d have to keep up with it daily.... (ok stupid joke!)

So now here’s a stupid question: whats the difference between a Day gecko and the regular kinds? Anyone got a pic you can post so we can see what one looks like - do they have the same type of habitate needs? Can they be kept with other geckos in the same habitates?
You know - the basics ...
Thanks!

Day Geckos are Diurnal (active during the day) and they need UVB lighting. No you can’t put them with other species. Here is a caresheet on Lined Day Geckos that I wrote:
Lined Day Gecko
(Phelsuma lineta)

Origin: The Rainforests of Madagascar

Adult Size: 4-5”, although it’s not uncommon to see adults only 3-4”

Arboreal: Have adhesive pads on their toes which enable them to climb smooth, vertical surfaces, such as glass

Diurnal: Active during the day/Needs UVB lighting for 12-14 hours a day

Diet: Omnivorous

Deion of Diet: Crickets, overripe fruit, baby food, and juices

Cage Size: A 10 Gallon Tank works well for one

Temperature: 75°F-85°F during the day with a 90°F-95°F basking spot. The temperature can drop into the low 70’s at night

Humidity: 60%-80% Mist at least once every other day. Mist more often in drier climates

Handling: Skin is sensitive, so handle with care and only hold babies when you have too

Tank Needs: Have a shallow water dish, a rainforest-like enclosure, and hiding spots. Also provide lots of places to climb

Here is a Lined Day Gecko that I was going to rescue from the petstore (someone else bought it):

(Sorry about the bad quality, I used a camera phone to take the picture.) The Phelsuma species (Day Geckos) are normally very colorful and are awesome! There are many different species that look really cool! I really think they should have their own forum here at RepticZone!

I think we could probably add a Day Gecko Forum. I used to breed a couple of different Day Geckos back in in the early 90’s. I bred the Madagascar Day Gecko, Gold Dust Day Geckos, and Spotted Day Geckos.

Day geckos are very beautiful, but also very delicate. Kam88 Has a picture of hers in the Lizards-Gereral Forum in the thread "Best lizard contest" towards the bottom.

We should have a day gecko forum!
