Hello all! I've recently acquired a male Giant Day Gecko as a mate for my female, and it's been interesting going ever since. The first night he never moved and never noticed her, but she was PISSED he was there. Second day they're fine, brightly colored hanging out on bamboo together, doing...

Yep, seems to be the case here. Decided to leave them overnight and when I came down in the morning they were doing a mating dance, seem far happier. Not sure on exact ages, but I think the female is 2.5 years, and the male is around 1.5 years old(based only on prior owners saying they got...

Good day all! Having some trouble introducing a male/female pair of Phelsuma Grandis, could use some suggestions. Today put them in the same terrarium(4' x 2' x 3'), only to have the female immediately turn a dark brown, and basically they've been staring at each other from opposite ends of the...

Good day all. I'm relatively new to Phelsuma, so I have a behavioral question to be on the safe side. Is it unusual for a Grandis to be ridiculously active out of no where? Allow me to explain: I have a female Grandis kept in a relatively large enclosure(for north america, 4'x2'x3'). Normally...

Slightly better pics.

It's rather shy about it's underside apparently, so still trying to determine sex, but got a slightly better side pic at least. Think it's a Boehmei solely because the person who sold it to me said it is, mind you he's not certain on gender, and thought it was a Grandis until his gecko guru...

Hello! Was shipped what I was told was a male Phelsuma Boehmei, but to me it looks more like a female Grandis. Any opinions? Sorry for the poor pics, glass needs cleaning.

Well, JUST received the "Boehmei", but I'm certain it is such. Note: he seems a little darker/stressed from shipping. Will add another pic after he's a bit more acclimated, also he's easily 2-3 inches smaller than her, so it would be a bad idea to introduce them anyway, correct?

New to Phelsuma with a subspecies question if anyone would please indulge me: given the differences, would a male Phelsuma Boehmei be compatible(both cohabitatively and sexually) with a female Phelsuma Grandis? I had intended to end up with a pair of Grandis, but have the opportunity to pick up...

Just picked up my first Phelsuma from an owner clearing out his collection tonight, but already have concerns. I was told this was a 2 year old male Giant Day Gecko(grandis), but it seems both small and female to me. Are Grandis normally only 7.5" long at 2 years of age? Attached pics too...

Not to threadjack or anything, but on the same topic has anyone used tree fern panels with Phelsuma(Grandis)? Am building a new enclosure and it sounds interesting to use, if they'd tolerate it. Tree Fern Panel (12X12X1) | Josh's Frogs
