Standing's Day Gecko

Threatened Species

The Standing’s day gecko is one of the largest gecko species reaching lengths of 12 inches. Unlike masters of camouflage such as leaf-tailed geckos or twig-mimic snakes, these diurnal (day-active) lizards stand out with eye-catching flashes of color.

Known as the “jewels of Madagascar,” day geckos occupy habitats ranging from the coastal lowland rainforests to the spiny thorn forests in the south.
