The genus Phelsuma consists of several lizards in the gecko family, commonly referred to as Day Geckos. In contrast to most other gecko species, day geckos are active mainly during the day. Day geckos have rounded pupils and a clear, fixed plate covering their eyes which they clean with their tongue. Day geckos do not have eyelids. Many species have bright green, red and blue colors which make them popular terrarium or vivarium pets. These brilliant colours play a role in intraspecies recognition and also serve as camouflage. Day geckos inhabit the islands of the south-west part of the Indian Ocean, the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, and the East Coast of mainland Africa. Most Phelsumas are found in Madagascar, which may also be the origin of the genus. Day geckos feed on various kinds of insects and other invertebrates in the wild. They also eat nectar, pollen and occasionally soft, ripe and sweet fruits such as bananas.
