Phelsuma klemmeri (Neon Day Gecko) are from NW Madagascar (bamboo forests), and have beautiful coloration. These are prized for their beautiful, multicolored bodies. Below are a few facts and husbandry tips. 

Adult size: 3–4 in (7–10 cm)

Lifespan: 6–10 yrs

Temperament: Fast, delicate, display species (minimal handling)

Activity: Diurnal, arboreal

Minimum tank size: 12×12×18″ (single) • 18×18×24″ (pair/group). Typically vertical, well-ventilated but humid tanks, with dense bamboo / thin branches for climbing & egg laying. 

Substrate: ABG but we've used foam too. 

Day ambient: 75–80 °F (24–27 °C)

Basking: 82–88 °F (28–31 °C)

Night drop: 68–72 °F (20–22 °C)

Humidity: 60–80 % with daily misting + drying period, but we go up to 90+% after rains. 

UVB: Low–moderate (2–5 %) or Repashy Calcium Plus every feeding. 

Primary Food: Fruit gecko diet (CGD) 2–3× weekly and melanogaster / hydei fruit flies

Breeding tips and common issues: Can be kept pairs or small colonies. Multiple egg deposition in bamboo nodes. Territorial males so monitor aggression. Can also escape as they're fast.
