The world of Day Gecko (Phelsuma lineata)
ヒルヤモリ (Phelsuma lineata)の世界
Day geckos are very popular in Europe, but not in Japan.
This species has many variations at their sizes
(12cm --- Phelsuma lineata is about 15cm, to 25cm ---
Phelsuma madagascariensis), colors and marks.
All the day geckos are specified as CITES II
(wild objects cannot be captured/exported/imported/sold without
permission).
Look...
-
Beside a paper box.
[Jul. '95]
-
They're very curious and she (named Penno) always looks me
when I act around the cage.
[Sep. '94]
-
Unlike the other lizards, day geckos can raise their neck
and look around.
[Aug. '95]
-
Their food is not only insects, but also sweet liquids.
In nature, they also ricks rape fluits.
She's ricking honey from hashi.
[Sep. '94]
-
She is too shy and hides away an wood over (near) the ground
(exactly, underground of the place she's hiding
a plate heater is embedded and she likes warmer palce).
[Sep. '95]
Shedding
-
Normally parts of shed skin like this can be found (maybe
stomach part).
-
A whole ``corn'' of her tail; shed skin is a good item to inspect
their scale pattern without touching/flightening them.
We can see day gecko (Phelsuma lineata)'s tail scale
pattern (from back) clearly in this picture.
-
The same thing above (from stomack).
-
Size of the above things; the coin's diamater is 2cm.
