Day gecko

Day geckos are lizards that live in countries around the Indian Ocean, especially on the island of Madagascar off the coast of Africa. Day geckos are brightly colored and, unlike most geckos which are nocturnal, they are active during the day. Day geckos feed mostly on insects, but also occasionally on fruit and flower nectar.

Day geckos are popular in the exotic pet trade.
