Robert Merten’s Day Gecko

Description

The Robert Merten’s Day Gecko (Phelsuma robertmertensi) is a diurnal gecko native to Madagascar. The species was named after Robert Merten, a German reptile collector who discovered it in the 1960s.

This species is distinguished by its stunning colouring, which features vivid green and blue markings on a backdrop of either black or dark brown. They are arboreal, like other Phelsuma geckos, and need a high enclosure with lots of places to climb and hide. They need access to UVB lighting since they are nocturnal and need it to properly manufacture vitamin D3 and sustain their health.

The primary food source for Robert Merten’s Day Geckos in captivity is insects, and they need a variety of foods to stay healthy. Since they are typically regarded as a hardy species, they can make wonderful pets for knowledgeable reptile keepers who can give them the proper care.

Before getting a Robert Merten’s Day Gecko as a pet, it’s important to do your homework and comprehend the specific care needs of this exotic animal. Additionally, it’s critical to confirm the ethical and legal sourcing of any animal you purchase.
