mystery gecko.......help anybody?

leebuggecko Jan 13, 2008 10:26 PM

Went to a reptile expo yesterday to "look around" and while there my girlfriend fell in love with three little day geckos. I've had leos for over 10 years and equipment to set them up in so i purchased them for her. The seller claimed that they were Phelsuma standingi. But after doing some searching, i think that they are more likely Phelsuma madagascariensis. i want to make sure that i am caring for them properly. if anybody can help out and tell me exactly what these guys are, i'd appreciate it!

oh, the seller also stated that they can be kept at room temperature and they do not need any kind of additional heat source assuming the RT is at least 70 degrees and that they do not need any kind of UV.

again, thanks for any help you can provide!

Jason, you're right, that is Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis.
