Madagascar Giant Day Gecko

Phelsuma Grandis
Tank Size 18x18x24
Due To Their Large Size, Adult Giant Day Geckos Require More Space Than Other Day Gecko Species. A 18x18x24 Enclosure Can House An Adult Pair. The Enclosure Should Contain Lots Of Branches And A Mix Of Live And Fake Plants. We Recommended To Set The Tank Up As A Bio Active Set-up.
Temperatures: 75-80F And A Basking Area Of Around 85-90F Should Also Be Provided Using A Halogen Light. As With All Day Geckos, Which Are Diurnal, UV Light Is Recommended.
Humidity For This Species Should Remain Around 60-70%. Daily Misting Is Strongly Recommended To Keep The Substrate Moist, Maintain Higher Humidity Within The Enclosure, And Also Provide Water Droplets From Which The Geckos Can Drink. Make Sure That There Is Enough Ventilation Such That Any Water Droplets On The Walls Of The Enclosure Dry Out By The Next Day.
This Arboreal Species Live In Humid Forests In Northern Madagascar. While These Geckos Can Tame Down Enough To Be Hand Fed, Their General Nature Is Similar To Other Day Geckos. They Are Flighty And Do Not Enjoy Being Handled. Their Diurnal Nature And Brilliant Colors Make Them Excellent Display Animals
