This endangered species is endemic to northwestern Madagascar and inhabits coastal forests (both dry and humid), dwelling on bamboo.

The body colour of this slender and long-snouted gecko is turquoise blue at the upper and mid-back.

The sexes can easily be distinguished by the orange color around the femoral pores of the males.

[citation needed] When threatened, P. klemmeri will hide inside narrow cracks in the bamboo.

[citation needed] P. klemmeri is primarily active during the cooler part of the day (diurnal)[1] and likes to bask.

[citation needed] The species P. klemmeri is bred extensively in captivity, and the IUCN thinks it unlikely that it is still wild-caught.
