the last two link are of the mystery phelsuma, the colors are washed out but the dots are purple/red on the back , the base color is kelly green and the tail normaly is a green/light blue. I'll try and get better pictures once they are fully settled in. Joe I would still apprecaite any input.

Thanks in advance

Looks like

Looks like Phelsuma dubia in my opinion- They often look washed out which references their common name "Dull Day Gecko" I don't claim to be an expert that's just my opinion- here is a picture of my Phelsuma dubia male for an example of the species-looks to me like they could be brothers - Baker

That is definitely a possiblity it just when I look at mine when the colors are there I could never describe it as dull......

id have to say your mystery should not be kept with that lineata dubia can be very aggresive. im not an expert but the chances in my opinion due to the color of its spots being dubia is very good lineata very bad. wow baker your mail looks incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Yeah not bad for a wild caught- this was a picture I took a couple days after I got him and I had just finished cleaning all of the mites off of him- I have read in a couple different places that you can keep them in groups of 1.2- I'm not to sure but you know Michael before to long we are going to find out first hand- Honestly most of the times you can see the beautiful pattern - It just isn't as Brilliant as most of the Day gecko species around- Just another example of a commonly under appreciated Phelsuma that is well worth the small investment-Baker

ya, when my dubia was little i didnt think to much of it but her whole tail was blue and she was radiant and my other dubia looked like a grandis it had red spots but the blue euelid and nose pattern he was beautiful but he died. Sucks that he did but i can do anything about it so, ya i dono how could this girl will be though in a group she tried to pick a fight with a grandis twice her size, sad thing is the grandis backed off, btw have you ever heard of a dubia spending 75 percent of her time on the bottom in a cave haha shes a crazy lil gecko lol

talk to you later

it defently looks like a dubia.I keep a pair,and their both brightly colored.But its not a sharp brightness,its more of a dull color

mrow, it is possible that she is stressed if she is spending time at the bottom of her cage. good way to recognise stress. And if they're in the same cage as grandis, you should move them. its never a good idea to have animals mixed up.

Yeah it definitely is a dubia, the odd thing though is he's scared of the little female lineata. They will be split up as soon they are both free of mites. I hope to pair up all of my phelsuma (laticauda, dubia and lineata)before the end of febuary. Not to hi-jack my own thread but which is the easiest to breed and is there any guidelines I should follow or is it simply put a pair together and just see what happens? Sorry for all the questions I am still new too phelsuma as a genus, but have defintely been bitten by the bug and am looking forward to getting more.

Thanks to all that have helped,

Danny

The three species you listed,are all fairly simple.I have yet to breed lineata for my own.But ive done the other 2.Their simple.Keep them together,theyll breed and incubate the babies,I dont know any tricks.What do you need to pair them off?We might be able to help.
