Phelsuma standingi- Standing's Day Gecko

Standing's Day Gecko is one of the larger species of Phelsuma, with an adult size similar to that of Grandis. They have slightly different needs from the other common Phelsuma species. Standingi prefer to be kept hotter than other Day Geckos, and drier as well.

Juveniles of this species are amazingly colored with beautiful, dark barring and purple undertones. Adults are more demure in their patterning, with a base color of a purplish- blue and faint spotting.
