Product Description
These geckos blend right in with tropical leaves and also feature red spots and lines along their bodies.
- Giant day geckos reach an average adult length of 8-10 inches
- Lifespan of 15 years
Feeding Instructions
Standing day geckos readily consume a variety of feeder insects, including medium to large crickets, roaches, mealworms, waxworms, silkworms, reptiworms, and hornworms. However, it's crucial to diversify their diet with both plant and animal-based foods to meet their nutritional needs. Additionally, adding reptile-approved prepared fruit puree products and ripe fruits like bananas and peaches can enhance their diet.
Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Giant day geckos thrive in climbing environments with ample vertical hiding spots. Being diurnal, they are most active during the day, so spacious cages are essential to accommodate their energy levels. They need plenty of bright, hot light and UVB, with basking spots reaching low 90s°F and cooler areas dropping to low 70s°F. While they prefer a sub-tropical to almost arid habitat, they adapt well to tropical setups too.
