Bright, Active, and Arboreal

The Lined Day Gecko is a vibrant, diurnal gecko species known for its striking green coloration with bold stripes and lively behavior. Native to Madagascar, these small, active lizards thrive in vertically oriented enclosures with plenty of climbing surfaces, foliage, and UVB lighting. They are best kept as display animals due to their delicate skin and speed but are fascinating to observe and easy to maintain with proper care.
