Standing
Day Geckos
(Phelsuma
Standingi)
|
While standingi lack the intense coloration
that many of the other Day Geckos display,...they could the hardiest
of the phelsuma genus. Male standingi are also amongst the largest
geckos in the world and can grow up to 12-inches in length. If
given proper conditions, life-expectancy in captivity can exceed
15 years. Standingi come from an arid
part of Madagascar, which could account for their relatively subtle
coloration and increased hardiness.
These geckos show remarkable social bonds and
behavior. My 6-year-old pair takes turns watching-over their incubating
eggs and has even tolerated a yearling son in the their territory,....who
also helped guard-over the eggs and hatchlings!
The breeders come from unrelated high-blue "Leapin' Lizard"
stock. If kept under extremely bright conditions and given the
the proper diet,... this bloodline of standingi will show an intense
blue coloration.
I recommend feeding a Day Gecko diet (mixed with peach babyfood
and water) 2-3 times per week. Crickets are the staple insect,..but
mealworms and superworms are relished.
