It lives on the eastern coast of Madagascar and typically inhabits rainforests and dwells on trees.

The Madagascar day gecko feeds on insects, fruit and nectar.

They also inhabit local huts and banana trees in the east coast of Madagascar because it has a humid and warm climate.

These day geckos feed on many arthropods (insects and arachnids) as well as some fruit matter (mashed).

The humidity at night should be maintained between 75 and 90%, on daytime between 60 and 80% In captivity, these animals can be fed with crickets, wax moth larvae, fruit flies, mealworms and houseflies.

Fresh tropical fruits, honey and fruity baby foods are good to maintain their inner moisture.
