Day geckos of the genus Phelsuma are different from other geckos for several reasons. Unlike most other geckos, day geckos are diurnal (active during the day) hence their name. They are also very territorial and they are very colorful. Most day geckos do not tolerate handling and should be thought of as a viewable pet instead of an interactive one.
