I have been meaning to document this for some time, but am finally beginning this project. I will be taking periodic pictures of some young Phelsuma guimbeaui as they develop and undergo their remarkable transformation into the vivid adult coloration and pattern.

Awesome thread idea Matt! I've got a lot of photos of the color change but don't have the age they were taken at. Want some additions to your thread?

Before we continue this thread, is there any way we can change the thread title to "Phelsuma..." I have no idea how I typed a "g" between the "m" and the "a." Wow, haha.

Now I wish I had actual age dates and all, but that is why Matt made this thread. He is going to give more accurate photos. Thanks Matt!

Great post, thanks for sharing. Thanks go to our super moderator, Aimless, who fixed my typo. Adam, you could start posting pictures of some of your babies with dates. I have had some guimbeaui retain their grey coloration longer than others.

Alright, I'll try to keep up Matt! Here is my little guimbeaui at 9 days old. Thing can poop a lot!(I just did a baby cup cleaning day and a few that are a couple to few weeks old had less poop than this little thing!)
