Description
Phelsuma kochi
A large, beautiful pale green gecko common to northern Madagascar. These understated geckos are a larger day gecko species native to Madagascar. They are related to Giant Day Geckos and share many of the same characteristics, the main difference being paler colors and smaller adult size. Koch’s day geckos tend to have a pale but still iridescent green color with pale mottling throughout their body. They lack the red patterns on their heads and backs that the Giant Day Geckos often have.
Koch’s Day Geckos reach lengths of 8” - 10”. Males often reach larger lengths than females. With good diet and proper lighting, these geckos can easily live 10 years or more in captivity.
